That is my line ;-) I am indeed testing/tinkering on adding USB support to the brcmfmac driver with bcm43236 as chipset. > As I have a Linksys AE2500 (13b1:003a) usb dongle, I am very interested > in helping test this functionality no matter how reliable it is, or is > not at this time.

I hope to submit the patch this week. Gr. AvS
