05:56 jnettlet wbx, yes upstream WiFi drivers should work as long as you have the firmware files.
05:58 jnettlet The move to TI was two fold. First the bcm4330 is end of life. Second the TI WiFi performance is much better. It can do 50Mbps with the default single channel and 92Mbps with the dual channel variant.
05:59 jnettlet The throughput limitation on the chip is 100Mbps.
06:00 jnettlet I can test the upstream kernel today but everything was working last time I tested it. Of course things are known to break as well.
08:38 wbx jnettlet: may be my config isn't uptodate anymore. it worked for an older kernel.
08:41 jnettlet wbx, which kernel are you testing?
08:43 wbx 4.7.3
08:43 wbx is mac80211 for full mac required?
08:43 jnettlet no it shouldn't be required
08:43 wbx i see it enabled in the armbian config
08:44 jnettlet if you have brcmfmac enabled and it is required then the driver would enabled it
09:00 wbx first some bread rolls, then I try a new compile ;)
09:00 jnettlet enjoy
09:00 wbx thx
