I want to add support for BCM43227 in b43, however I need help of some
BCM43227 owner. Well, I could buy one by myself (less than 10$ on
eBay), but I don't want to wait a month to receive it.
So I need someone with:
1) BCM43227 ;)
2) Kernel with CONFIG_MMIOTRACE=y*
3) Broadcom Linux STA driver 6.30.223.141
So? Is there anyone around with BCM43227 willing to help?
* Ubuntu 14.04 has CONFIG_MMIOTRACE=y by default, openSuSE 13.1
doesn't. So you may need to compile kernel by yourself, depending on
the distro.

I'd need someone to:
1) Disable NetworkManager & blacklist wl
2) Make a cold boot (power off for 3 seconds)
3) Run attached script
4) Provide me /tmp/dump.txt (preferably compressed)

Still needed? I have
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
That is one iteration higher.

It has appeared that BCM43227 and BCM43228 are pretty much identical
from programming POV. You can try 3.17-rc1 (or newer) to see if it
supports your wireless card :)

So my wireless should work without the crappy proprietary drivers as of
kernel 3.17? O.o
You're saying it's already done, or should I still run your script? :)

Hi!
Today Fedora 20 updated to 3.17 and so I was pretty eager to try b43
instead of wl. It didn't work like I hoped it would; networkmanager was
able to scan but not to connect with my BCM43228.
I've ordered an Intel WiFi card some days ago. So if the b43 team wants
to, I can send a developer my BCM card for free for developing, reverse
engineering and debugging purposes.
(I googled an excerpt of the dmesg error message (because it had a MAC
address in it I didn't want to give to Google), but I forgot to write
down the original message:
deauthenticating by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)
