 Hello everybody,

 today I tried OpenFWWF with kernel 2.6.28 on a Siemens wifi device with 
 Broadcom 4306 chipset:

 BCM94306 802.11g (rev 03)
 PHY: Analog 2, Type 2, Revision 2
 Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2

 I did some tests and everything seems to work fine.

 I remember, once again, that OpenFWWF needs v480 initvals to work  
 properly, and was tested on 2.6.27-rc5 kernel.

Any chance on getting a set of initvals packaged with the open source
firmware?  That would allow distros like Fedora to package this...

Did anybody try with the set of initvals from my git repository?
It includes the major parts. It just misses parts like the 
default-beacon-template
and stuff. But that's not really needed for now.

Yes, we have it now. Still testing as several values can be cut out.  
Posting ASAP.
Cheers.
