Hello,
I have some Wifi USB modules with 43236B Broadcom chipset. I have read on the
linuxwireless dot org website that this chipset is supported by the brcmfmac
*(USB)* driver.
As I am also trying to backport this driver for an embedded device which runs a
2.6.27 kernel, I had a look to the 3.2 kernel sources and especially to the
drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmfmac directory. But I do not find any
reference to USB stack kernel functions.
How may this work?
Regards.

It works by being patient. USB support was merged upstream in the
previous merge window so it is present in the current 3.4-rcX releases.
If you want to backport I suggest to use compat-wireless (see [1]) as it
does a lot of work for you.
