It would help if the Broadcom's brcmsmac developers would pick up the
pace a little and get something into the kernel that is stable,
effective, open source and supported. I only tried switching back to iwl
because brcmsmac is both deaf and drops out frequently on my BCM4313
chipset.

Not to mention it's taken them until literally the last six months to
get AP mode in.

It would win Broadcom so much goodwill (a real first) if they supported
the project to full fruition.
