Subject: brcmsmac and BCM47186 (BCM5357) + brcmfmac and BCM43236 V2
Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 00:32:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FB57C61.3090302@hauke-m.de> (raw)
Hi Arend,
I got a new device, a Linksys E3200 with a BCM47186 (id: 0x5357) and a
BCM43236 v2 for 5GHz wifi.
The BCM47186 has a wifi core rev 28, a N-PHY rev 9 and a 2057 radio rev
5 and it does not work with brcmsmac or b43. :-(
Are there plans to add support for such new N-PHY revs to brcmsmac and
the firmware?
Here are some parts of my log with brcmsamc with firmware from
linux-firmware.

When using the firmware from b43 (666.2, extracted from wl 5.100.138) I
get the following messages, but iw wlan0 scan does not find any networks
either.

Did you talk to the firmware guys, is there a limitation to core rev 23
devices in the N-PHY firmware other than in the firmware used by wl?
There is also a BCM43236 V2 (usb chip) on the board. I tried brcmfmac
and the firmware from linux-firmware, but it did not work. This is a rev
2 device and brcmfmac just seams to support rev 3. Are there any plans
to add support for rev 2 or is this an other problem and a rev 2 device
should also work with brcmfmac?
