> Wireless chipmaker Broadcom Thursday announced it will be releasing a fully
> open source Linux driver for its current generation of 802.11n chipsets.
> This means that Wi-Fi, one of the most problematic peripherals<http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4466236354.html>in the entire Linux ecosystem, will become a lot simpler to set up.
>
> "The driver, while still a work in progress, is released as full source and
> uses the native mac80211 stack. It supports multiple current chips (BCM4313,
> BCM43224, BCM43225) as well as providing a framework for supporting
> additional chips in the future, including mac80211-aware embedded chips,"
> Broadcom Scientist Henry Ptasinkski posted in a gmane newsgroup today<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/55418>
> .
>
> With this driver source code available, Linux distributions can now include
> native support for certain Broadcom Wi-Fi chips. Until now, many of these
> required users to extract Broadcom's proprietary firmware and replace it
> with custom firmware in order for certain wireless devices to work. Even
> then, many Broadcom chips were totally unsupported<http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43>
