The brcmsmac driver supports the BCM4313, BCM43224, and BCM43225 chipsets with
full performance i.e. rate vs. range comparable to what's achived with these
chips running under other operating systems.
The underlying phy algorithms, especially the dynamic calibrations, have been
designed and tested, over the full range of chip operating temperatures, and
across fabrication process corners, to maximize the performance acheived in all
cases.
The driver is fully supported by Broadcom, and provides an API for addition of
phy support for newer chipsets that will help speed up the process of getting
support for those chipsets into the kernel.
