Comment:
my initial work was checked in r40302
TODO
* physical network interface needs work as well as io control calls.
* contact Beceem / Broadcom and see if they will dual license code as
MIT+GPL, or get their blessing for us to license my code as MIT. (there
isn't a lot of original Beceem code left.. but there is possibly a
little.. especially in the BeceemDDR code)
Done:
* Beceem binary firmware file push
* low level hardware setup and communication
* GPIO mapping and a basic LED Thread that monitors device state
* LED blinks and stuff according to device state
* reads device mac address and sets up (buggy) network interface with it.
* more stable then vendors driver!
