Document support for the BCM4378 / BCM4387 chipsets.

from Brad


# 1.20 16-Mar-2023 kn

revert previous, stsp made WEP work on bwfm(4)


# 1.19 14-Mar-2023 kn

WEP in bfwm(4) never worked, sync with reality

"ifconfig bwfm0 [-]nwkey ..." does not work and thus the installer no longer
offers WEP, so unmention support while leaving the recommendation against it.

# 1.6 11-Feb-2018 patrick

SDIO support for bwfm(4) is good enough now that we can remove the
claim saying it is not supported. It's slowly getting on par with
the other busses but there's still more work to do.

Prompted by tb@


# 1.5 10-Jan-2018 patrick

Update manpage to reflect changes to bwfm(4) which allow Host AP mode
and the PCI attachment driver.


# 1.4 24-Dec-2017 patrick

Add a PCI attachment driver for bwfm(4). It's not finished, but it's
already past the point where development can occur out of the tree.
With this I can successfully scan for access points and tell the chip
to attach to an SSID. RX path should work as well, but since I forgot
to bring the antenna with me to my parents, the reception is a bit
horrible in the metal enclosure.

There are a few reasons this driver is rather big. First we set up the
ARM Cores, uploading the firmware and kicking it off. Then we need to
read all needed information from the registers. Once that is done we
have to set up countless buffers. There are 2 TX rings and 3 RX rings,
plus N TX rings for the actual data that is yet to be implemented.

Merry Christmas!

SDIO support for bwfm(4) is good enough now that we can remove the
claim saying it is not supported. It's slowly getting on par with
the other busses but there's still more work to do.

Prompted by tb@


# 1.5 10-Jan-2018 patrick

Update manpage to reflect changes to bwfm(4) which allow Host AP mode
and the PCI attachment driver.


# 1.4 24-Dec-2017 patrick

Add a PCI attachment driver for bwfm(4). It's not finished, but it's
already past the point where development can occur out of the tree.
With this I can successfully scan for access points and tell the chip
to attach to an SSID. RX path should work as well, but since I forgot
to bring the antenna with me to my parents, the reception is a bit
horrible in the metal enclosure.

There are a few reasons this driver is rather big. First we set up the
ARM Cores, uploading the firmware and kicking it off. Then we need to
read all needed information from the registers. Once that is done we
have to set up countless buffers. There are 2 TX rings and 3 RX rings,
plus N TX rings for the actual data that is yet to be implemented.

Merry Christmas!
