Hi
It seems that the following patch [1] implementing automatic capability
detection for OpenFWWF (basically only disables QoS right now, hwcrypto
isn't available due to a missing pcm5.fw in the first place) in b43 has
gone missing. While it's almost too late to squeeze it into 2.6.31, it
would be great if it could be merged into wireless-testing and
subsequently 2.6.32.
Successfully tested over several weeks on the following devices against
2.6.29.x and 2.6.31-rc8-git5, using OpenFWWF 5.1 and the proprietary
Broadcom firmware (410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10)):
b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found (core revision 5)

b43-phy0: Loading OpenSource firmware version 410.31754
b43-phy0: Hardware crypto acceleration not supported by firmware
b43-phy0: QoS not supported by firmware
Without this patch or an explicit manual modprobe override setting qos=0,
the current OpenFWWF will fail to work with b43 with the following
(repeating) error message:
b43-phy0 ERROR: MAC suspend failed
While this patch has been acked by OpenFWWF upstream [2], [3] and was
intended to go into wireless-testing [4], it is still lacking a formal
Signed-off-by from Michael (I'm 're-'sending this patch on his behalf, as
suggested via IRC).
The attached version of Michael's patch is (trivially) rediffed against
current wireless-testing and applies with minor fuzz against 2.6.30 as
well. Even though my own efforts too trivial to claim any kind of copyright
on this patch, I'm proactively adding my Signed-off-by for this rediff,
hoping that Michael as the author will formally sign it off as well and on
top.
Regards
Stefan Lippers-Hollmann
