Procedure for donating hardware to b43 project

[Kshitij Kulshreshtha]

Hello,

I am interested in donating a Broadcom BCM94228HMB Mini-PCIe card for
the purpose of open source driver development. The card has the PCI ID
14e4:4359 This device is listed as not tested on the b43 driver website
[1] and upon binding the pci device to the bcma driver and force loading
b43 in kernel version 3.3.6 I get the following output.

[13174.301451] bcma: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x800,
rev 0x25, class 0x0)
[13174.301475] bcma: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x812,

[13174.301526] bcma: Core 2 found: PCIe (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x820, rev

 [13174.301548] bcma: Core 3 found: SDIO Device (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x829,

[13174.301672] bcma: Workarounds unknown for device 0xA8DC
[13174.308903] bcma: No SPROM available
[13174.308995] bcma: Bus registered
[13174.327537] b43-phy0: Broadcom 43228 WLAN found (core revision 30)
[13174.327953] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 9, Type 9,
Revision 0)
[13174.327958] b43: probe of bcma0:1 failed with error -95
[13174.327968] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMNLS ]

Incidentally the card seems to have a Bluetooth component as well, but
this does not show up at all under linux.

So what would be the procedure to donate this card to someone who knows
a more about the b43 driver and devices so this device can be supported
in the future?

Thanks and regards.

Does anyone want this piece of hardware?

I have been holding back in case someone spoke up, but as no one has, I would be 
happy to add it to my collection.

I will send you my mailing address in a separate post.

Thanks,

Larry
