I would also point out that the BCM4359 is equivalent to the CYW88359/CYW89359 chipset, which we are using in some of our products. Note that this is a Cypress chipset (identifiable by the Version: ... (... CY) tag in the version string). But the FW Konrad is linking appears to be for a Broadcom chipset.This just makes me think about Peter Robinsons seminar at LPC last week... "All types of wireless in Linux are terrible and why the vendors should feel bad" https://lpc.events/event/16/contributions/1278/attachments/1120/2153/wireless-issues.pdf
Thanks, this was a good read! I'm always interested about user and downstream feedback, both good and bad :) But I didn't get the Stockholm syndrome comment in the end, what does he mean with that? BTW we have a wireless workshop in netdevconf 0x16, it would be great to have there a this kind of session discussing user pain points: https://netdevconf.info/0x16/session.html?Wireless-Workshop -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
