BCM43XX Linux Driver Project ============================ About this software ------------------- bcm43xx-fwcutter is a tool which can extract firmware from various source files. It's written for BCM43xx driver files. The project page is http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ Usage ----- bcm43xx-fwcutter FILE extracts the firmware from a source FILE to . bcm43xx-fwcutter -i FILE identify the driver file. Print information, but don't extract. bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /tmp FILE extract and write firmware to /tmp. bcm43xx-fwcutter -l prints a list of supported driver source files. After extraction, run make installfw which will copy bcm43xx_*.fw to FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR (which defaults to /lib/firmware) for usage by the bcm43xx driver. An alternative way is using the -w option. Different distributions use different target directories for the firmware files. If the driver complains about missing firmware files look for the correct directory. For some distributions you have to use /lib/hotplug/firmware or /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware for FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR, but other directories are also possible. Extraction doesn't depend on the system you're using. You can even extract firmware on ppc from a mips driver. Cross-extraction is allowed. Where can I find some driver source files? ------------------------------------------ AppleAirPort2 ------------- You can find the Apple Airport Extreme driver in your Mac OS X system at /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAirPort2.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleAirPort2 (Note that not all versions of the MacOSX driver are supported.) AppleAirPortBrcm4311 -------------------- AppleAirPortBrcm4311 only seems to be available on Intel based machines.
