I'd like AP mode for my BCM4313, so I was digging through the list
archives trying to figure out the current situation.  As far as I can
tell, b43 still doesn't support the BCM4313 [1], so Hauke's brcmsmac
adjustments seem like my best option.  An older post says they're in
wireless-testing [2], but I don't see them grepping though the logs:

  $ git log --oneline -S NL80211_IFTYPE_AP wireless-testing/master \
      -- drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/
  1525662 brcm80211: smac: changed check to confirm STA only support
  5b435de net: wireless: add brcm80211 drivers

Can someone point me to the code Hauke was referencing?

I'd also be interested in the b43 support for the BCM4313, but

  $ git log -S 4727 wireless-testing/master -- drivers/net/wireless/b43/

turns up no commits at all.

My only kernel experience is with some limited Comedi patches, so
apologies if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Thanks,
Trevor
