I fear you'll find no binary driver out there which is portable across

I was under the impression that the new 2.6 kernel binary driver was
independent of the OS version
ie: it was a 2.6.x driver
TomatoUsb are using a 2.6.22 kernel
So I figured that I should be able to get it to work with either
Openwrt 8.09 or 10.03
please correct me again if I am wrong
I would happily use the B43 driver if was stable - but I still get DMA
errors about once a day.
Unfortunatly the old broadcom binary driver doesn't support mucticast
correctly in client mode bridge, hence my interest in the newer
broadcom binary drivers
I committed the 'relayd' package, which allows you to add transparent
routing between multiple interfaces with ARP proxying and
broadcast/multicast frame relay. That can be used to replace most client
mode bridge style setups, and it works with any driver.
Unfortunaly changin routers/chipsets is not an option - I am locked in
with what we have
Perhaps I need to build openwrt with a 2.6.22 kernel similar to
tomatousb - I am up for that if I have to
I think that would require lots of hacks and would be mostly pointless.
The new broadcom-wl package in OpenWrt trunk is independent of the
kernel version, but it doesn't work on all hardware yet.
