    I am confused.

    There is
    http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/softmac-snapshot.tar.bz2
    at http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/SoftMAC,
    page also says "Projects using this layer: * Broadcom 43xx driver"

    but Broadcom driver page at ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/bcm43xx/snapshots/softmac/
    has ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/bcm43xx/snapshots/softmac/ieee80211softmac-20060107.tar.bz2
    which is not the same. For example, ieee80211softmac.h file exists in both
    tarballs but is not identical.

    Suppose one wants to use softmac in a project. What tarball contains
    the bleeding edge of softmac?
