+Broadcom Linux hybrid wireless driver
+Release Version: 6.30.223.271
+Release Date: Fri Sep 18 15:41:45 2015
+
+DISCLAIMER
+----------
+This is an Official Release of Broadcom's hybrid Linux driver for use with 
+Broadcom based hardware.
+
+WHERE TO GET THE RELEASE
+------------------------
+For General Web releases: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE AND DISCUSSION OF HYBRID DRIVER
+----------------------------------------------
+There are separate tarballs for 32 bit and 64 bit x86 CPU architectures.
+Make sure you use the appropriate tarball for your machine.
+
+Other than 32 vs 64 bit, the hybrid binary is agnostic to the specific
+versions (3.5.X) and distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu, SuSE, etc).  It performs
+all interactions with the OS through OS specific files (wl_linux.c, wl_iw.c,
+osl_linux.c) that are shipped in source form. You compile this source on
+your system and link with a precompiled binary file (wlc_hybrid.o_shipped)
+which contains the rest of the driver.
+
+PRECOMPILED DRIVER
+-------------------
+Some distros (Ubuntu and Fedora at the least) already have a version of
+this driver in their repositories precompiled, tested and ready to go.
+You just use the package manager to install the proper package.  If
+its available for your distro, this is usually an easier solution. See
+the end of this document for further discussion.
+
+ABOUT THIS RELEASE
+-------------------
+This is a rollup release.  It includes and deprecates all previous releases
+and patches.  At the time of release there are no existing patches for this
+release from Broadcom.
+
+SUPPORTED DEVICES
+-----------------
+The cards with the following PCI Device IDs are supported with this driver.
+Both Broadcom and and Dell product names are described.   Cards not listed
+here may also work.

+
+NOTABLE CHANGES
+---------------
+	Upgraded to support 3.19 kernel APIs.
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+------------
+Building this driver requires that your machine have the proper tools,
+packages, header files and libraries to build a standard kernel module.
+This usually is done by installing the kernel developer or kernel source
+package and varies from distro to distro. Consult the documentation for
+your specific OS.
+
+If you cannot successfully build a module that comes with your distro's
+kernel developer or kernel source package, you will not be able to build
+this module either.
+
+If you try to build this module but get an error message that looks like
+this:
+
+make: *** /lib/modules/"release"/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
+
+Then you do not have the proper packages installed, since installing the
+proper packages will create /lib/modules/"release"/build on your system.
+
+On Fedora install 'kernel-devel' from 
+Package Manager (System-> Administration-> Add/Remove Software)
+or 
+yum install kernel-devel 
+or
+yum install kernel-PAE-devel
+
+On Ubuntu, you will need headers and tools.  Try these commands:
+# apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic
+# apt-get build-dep linux
+
+To check to see if you have this directory do this:
+
+# ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
+
+BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
+------------------
+1. Setup the directory by untarring the proper tarball:
+
+For 32 bit: 	hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz
+For 64 bit: 	hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz
+
+Example:
+# mkdir hybrid_wl
+# cd hybrid_wl
+# tar xzf <path>/hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz or 
+	<path>/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz
+
+2. Build the driver as a Linux loadable kernel module (LKM):
+
+# make clean   (optional)
+# make
+
+When the build completes, it will produce a wl.ko file in the top level
+directory.
+
+If your driver does not build, check to make sure you have installed the
+kernel package described in the requirements above.
+
+This driver uses cfg80211 API. Code for Wext API is present and can be built
+but we have dropped support for it.
+As before, the Makefile will still build the matching version for your system.
+
+# make API=CFG80211
+ or
+# make API=WEXT (deprecated)
+
+INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
+--------------------
+
+Upgrading from a previous version:
+---------------------------------
+
+If you were already running a previous version of wl, you'll want to provide
+a clean transition from the older driver. (The path to previous driver is
+usually /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/net/wireless)
+
+# rmmod wl 
+# mv <path-to-prev-driver>/wl.ko <path-to-prev-driver>/wl.ko.orig
+# cp wl.ko <path-to-prev-driver>/wl.ko
+# depmod
+# modprobe wl
+
+The new wl driver should now be operational and your all done.
+
+Fresh installation:
+------------------
+1: Remove any other drivers for the Broadcom wireless device.
+
+There are several other drivers (besides this one) that can drive 
+Broadcom 802.11 chips. These include b43, brcmsmac, bcma and ssb. They will
+conflict with this driver and need to be uninstalled before this driver
+can be installed.  Any previous revisions of the wl driver also need to
+be removed.
+
+Note: On some systems such as Ubuntu 9.10, the ssb module may load during
+boot even though it is blacklisted (see note under Common Issues on how to
+resolve this. Nevertheless, ssb still must be removed
+(by hand or script) before wl is loaded. The wl driver will not function 
+properly if ssb the module is loaded.
+
+# lsmod  | grep "brcmsmac\|b43\|ssb\|bcma\|wl"
+
+If any of these are installed, remove them:
+# rmmod b43
+# rmmod brcmsmac
+# rmmod ssb
+# rmmod bcma
+# rmmod wl
+
+To blacklist these drivers and prevent them from loading in the future:
+# echo "blacklist ssb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
+# echo "blacklist bcma" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
+# echo "blacklist b43" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
+# echo "blacklist brcmsmac" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
+
+2: Insmod the driver.
+
+Otherwise, if you have not previously installed a wl driver, you'll need
+to add a security module before using the wl module.  Most newer systems 
+use lib80211 while others use ieee80211_crypt_tkip. See which one works for 
+your system.
+
+# modprobe lib80211 
+  or 
+# modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
+
+If your using the cfg80211 version of the driver, then cfg80211 needs to be
+loaded:
+
+# modprobe cfg80211
+
+Then:
+# insmod wl.ko
+
+wl.ko is now operational.  It may take several seconds for the Network 
+Manager to notice a new network driver has been installed and show the
+surrounding wireless networks.
+
+If there was an error, see Common issues below.
+
+Common issues:
+----------------
+* After the insmod you may see this message:
+  WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE()
+  It is expected, not harmful and can be ignored.
+
+* If you see this message:
+
+  "insmod: error inserting 'wl.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module"
+
+  Usually this means that one of the required modules (as mentioned above) is
+  not loaded. Try this:
+  # modprobe lib80211 or ieee80211_crypt_tkip (depending on your os)
+  # modprobe cfg80211
+    
+  Now re-try to insmod the wl driver:
+  # insmod wl.ko
+  
+* If the wl driver loads but doesn't seem to do anything:
+  the ssb module may be the cause.  Sometimes blacklisting ssb may not
+  be enough to prevent it from loading and it loads anyway. (This is mostly
+  seen on Ubuntu/Debian systems).
+
+  Check to see if ssb, bcma, wl or b43 is loaded:
+  # lsmod | grep "brcmsmac\|ssb\|wl\|b43\|bcma"
+
+  If any of these are installed, remove them:
+  # rmmod brcmsmac
+  # rmmod ssb
+  # rmmod bcma
+  # rmmod wl
+  # insmod wl
+
+  Back up the current boot ramfs and generate a new one:
+  # cp /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` somewheresafe
+  # update-initramfs -u
+  # reboot
+
+3: Setup to always load at boot time.
+
+The procedure to make a module load at boot time varies from distro to
+distro.  Consult the docs for your specific distro to see how.  The 
+following seems to work for my setup on Fedora and Ubuntu.  Check your 
+docs to see the procedure for your distro.
+
+Follow these steps to have the driver load as part of the boot process:
+
+# load driver as described above
+# cp wl.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless 
+# depmod -a
+
+# echo modeprobe wl >> /etc/rc.local  (Fedora/SUSE)
+
+Ubuntu ships a version of wl.ko, so those need to be disabled.  On my 
+system the were several versions, so I searched and renamed the .ko's
+like this:
+
+# sh: for i in `find /lib /var -name wl\.ko`; do mv $i ${i}.orig; done
+
+
+TX POWER EXPLAINED
+------------------
+'iwconfig eth1 txpower' & 'iwlist eth1 txpower' set and get the drivers 
+user-requested transmit power level. This can go up to 32 dbm and allows
+the user to lower the tx power to levels below the regulatory limit.
+Internally, the actual tx power is always kept within regulatory limits
+no matter what the user request is set to.

+wpa_supplicant fixes the issue)
+#76739 Ubuntu9.04: unable to connect to hidden network after stdby/resume
+#76793 Ubuntu9.04: STA fails to create IBSS network in 5 Ghz band
+
+
+KNOWN ISSUES AND LIMITATIONS IN EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+wpa_supplicant 0.6.3 + nl80211 + WEP - (Note: This would only affect you if 
+you are using wpa_supplicant directly from the command line and specify 
+nl80211 interface, e.g. "wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -ieth1 ..". If you are using
+network manager GUI to connect it should work file.)
+wpa_supplicant 0.6.3 might have a bug that affect WEP connections created 
+through nl80211. Upgrade to wpa_supplicant to 0.7.3 would solve this problem.
+
+Ubuntu 10.10 kernel + nl80211 + WPA/WPA2 - (Note: This would only affect you if 
+you are using wpa_supplicant directly from the command line and specify 
+nl80211 interface, e.g. "wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -ieth1 ..". If you are using
+network manager GUI to connect it should work file.)
+Some kernel versions of Ubuntu such as 2.6.35-22 (released with Ubuntu 
+10.10) may have problems that affect WPA/WPA2 connections created through 
+nl80211. Upgrade to 2.6.35-25 or later should solve this problem.
+
+HOW TO USE MONITOR MODE
+-----------------------
+To enable monitor mode:
+$ echo 1 > /proc/brcm_monitor0 => Creates a 'prism0' network interface for use by Wireshark and others.
+$ ifconfig prism0 up           => Enable the interface
+
+To disable monitor mode:
+$ echo 0 > /proc/brcm_monitor0
+
+HOW TO ENABLE WOWL
+-----------------
+$ iw phyX wowlan enable magic-packet disconnect
+$ iw phyX wowlan show
+
+
+HOW TO INSTALL A PRE-COMPILED DRIVER
+-----------------------------------
+Some of the major linux distros already supply a version of this driver, so
+you don't have to compile your own.  Most of the distros keep this driver
+along with other proprietary or non-GPL drivers in a separate repository.
+
+For further information see the documentation for your specific distro.
+
+Fedora:
+------
+su -c 'rpm -Uvh
+http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
+http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
+
+su -
+yum update
+yum install kmod-wl
+
+Ubuntu:
+------
+Go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
+Choose the Broadcom STA wireless driver
+Activate
+
+Sometimes the driver does not show up in the Hardware Drivers choices.  In
+this case, try reintalling the driver from the GUI or shell like this:
+
+From the GUI:
+Package Manager (System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager). Click the 
+Reload button in the upper left corner of Synaptic to refresh your index then 
+search for and reinstall the package named bcmwl-kernel-source.
+
+From the shell:
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source
+
+In either GUI or text case, after reinstalling, reboot your machine.
+
+Now go back to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
+and you should see the driver enabled and working.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
