does anybody still care about the broadcom-wl package in OpenWrt?
I think it would be nice if we could get rid of it, along with the code support
and abstraction for different wireless drivers.
It would also allow us to rewrite iwinfo in ucode with nl80211 as the only
supported API, which helps keep things simple.
Would anybody be opposed to declaring 23.05 to be the last release to support
broadcom-wl?
Go ahead and drop it!
If anyone wants that driver it should receive cfg80211 API layer so it
can be used with generic tools.
It should be quite doable and actually I know there were GPL 2 licsensed
wl_cfg80211.c files (with wl_cfg80211_add_virtual_iface() and friends)
floating around in various projects.
