The cw1200 driver has been accepted into the upstream linux kernel; it
|
2013-10-28 19:34:36 -04:00
|
|
|
is present in the 3.11-rc and newer releases. It is also present in the
|
|
|
|
3.12 and newer backports releases. Please see:

In general, I recommend using the latest version of backports.

Down the line, these changes are anticipated:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Devicetree bindings for the cw1200 driver (SPI and SDIO)
|
|
|
|
* Support for the cw1x50/cw1x60 (depends on hardware availability)
|
2013-10-28 19:34:36 -04:00
|
|
|
* Bugfixes as necessary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There currently two out-of-tree patches, bundled here:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ETF mode operation
|
|
|
|
* ITP mode operation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These patches are provided as-is with no support, as they are only
|
|
|
|
really of use if you have access to ST-E's ETF tools and intend to take
|
|
|
|
a device through regulatory approval. Contact your module vendor for
|
|
|
|
further details.

There is also a patch intended to apply to the backports tree.

ST has granted permission to redistribute the firmware; it is under the
|
|
|
|
firmware/ directory for your convenience. It will be bundled with the
|
|
|
|
linux-firmware distribution in the near future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, Sagrad has granted permission to redistibute the SDD file for
|
|
|
|
its SG901-1091/1098 modules. It is already bundled in linux-firmware.
