Hi,
i am trying to implement on a smart city network a solution based on
high end home routers like the asus RT-AC66U.
we want to use openwrt for that but unfortunately the broadcom driver
isn't yet supported.
I have one rt-ac66u here for development, there is anything that i can
do for help?
i came here after a suggestion of one member on openwrt forum:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=217341#p217341

i also read this past email:

Not sure what 11ac chipset is used. The upstream brcm80211 drivers currently
only support one 11ac chipset, ie. the bcm4335. This is a single stream with
SDIO host interface supported by the fullmac driver brcmfmac.

For chipsets like 4360 we need to add AC phy support to brcmsmac. So far we
do not have green light to do so.

Regards,
Arend

Hiya,

Is this still the status quo? I'd like to start porting updated
broadcom support to FreeBSD for Apple Macintosh users who would like
11ac NIC support.
