Do you have any pointers to his stuff (patches)?
Hi, I'll email you the patchset off-list so you can look at the API and write the bcm43xx driver against it. They are a few months old and need updating to 2.6.latest and it is on my 2.6.18 TODO. If you search the archives there were a few small issues left such as separating out all the x86 stuff into separate amd, via, and intel code instead of having a single file.
