Bug#649567: linux-2.6: Please enable BCMA and BCMA_HOST_PCI
Source: linux-2.6
Version: 3.1.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Please consider enabling BCMA ("BCMA support") as a module, along with
BCMA_HOST_PCI ("Support for BCMA on PCI-host bus"). BCMA was explicitly
disabled for linux-2.6 in its subversion repository at revision 17519.
Enabling these would allow the b43 driver to receive BCMA bus support
(B43_BCMA, enabled by default) and operate Broadcom BCM43224 and BCM43225
based PCIe wireless LAN devices; BCM4331 (HT-PHY) support is anticipated for
Linux 3.2.
A consequence of enabling BCMA_HOST_PCI is the addition of device IDs to the
produced bcma module, four of these are claimed by the brcmsmac part of the
brcm80211 staging driver.
