The binary blob is for x86 architecture only.=20 Other platforms are out of luck. They also have a README at http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt As noted earlier, the BCM4310 has a PCI ID of 0x4315. I have one of=20 those cards and could test their blob pile. ATM, I'm using b43 on a=20 BCM4312 (a/b/g) card, but it has an ID of 0x4312. I've only had a quick look at their code, but I don't think it will be=20 much help for the RE project. Most of the interesting stuff seems to=20 be in the binary blob.
