mangix: high-end broadcom chips usually support brcmfmac. But the driver has ... quirks
00:21
<
hurricos >
I'm not sure about 11ax, but bcm43465 (4x4 wave2 11ac) works fine under x86 OpenWrt.
00:26
<
hurricos >
But you were asking about fully embedded stuff.
00:27
<

hurricos: of course

hurricos: do you happen to know about bcm43684 in regards to this (softmac vs fullmac)? (I could get my hands to a device with BCM4906+BCM43684+BCM43684 for rather cheap, but... OpenWrt would be a hard requirement ;)

the problem with Broadcom is they make a zillion chips and freely document almost none of them. A lot like Realtek in this respect.
00:47
<
pkgadd >
well, realtek at least provides driver source (crap drivers, but at least something)
00:48
<
hurricos >
pkgadd: one thing I can say: if Broadcom hasn't put the firmware in one of the Linux git trees you're not getting it working under OpenWrt
00:48
<
hurricos >
If you can hunt down the pci ids -- even in u-boot, though I doubt they still use that, do they? -- then you can look them up and see where they fall in brcmfmac's firmware loading process
00:48
<
hurricos >
if they don't? not supported
00:50
<
hurricos >
I also had some luck finding info based on what is being uh -- brought into OpenWrt by oh -- there's one person's tree on git.openwrt.org for this ...
00:51
<
hurricos >
I have no idea who it was :egg on face:
00:52
<
hurricos >
someone in 2020 brought in brcmfmac-firmware-4366c0
00:52
<
hurricos >
the other problem for you is that your chip being named something does not mean that's the firmware file it needs :^( e.g. that^ firmware file supports brcm43465
00:53
<
hurricos >
bcm43465*
00:55
<
pkgadd >
well, I've never considered this device seriously, but it could be a nice one (if bcm43684 were supportable by brcmfmac)
00:57
<
hurricos >
It would be interesting to see the content of the flash. That would help us find the firmware -- even if it is not distributable it gives a good target so we can know as soon as it
*is*
00:58
<
hurricos >
actually in the context of thie article all bcm chips should be considered wildly insecure :^)
00:58
<
hurricos >
sorry, wlan soc's
01:01
<
pkgadd >
don't have the device at my disposal, but checking the binary firmware finds /etc/wlan/dhd/43684b0/rtecdc.bin
01:01
<
hurricos >
can you binwalk it?
01:01
<
hurricos >
or actually -- yeah, do just check that article out for the methodology.
01:01
<
pkgadd >
dhd rings a bell in this regard, with some hoep for fullmac
01:04
<
hurricos >
I recognize none of this :^)
01:05
<
hurricos >
oh - the dhd I see from the quarkslab link I posted.
01:05
<
hurricos >
well, but that's not brcmfmac - and I don't believe openwrt packages bcmdhd, and probably with good reason
01:05
<
pkgadd >
yeah, kind of promising (in the potential for support sense, not really in a security sense)
01:10
<
hurricos >
yeah. bcmdhd is for the Android kernel, not Linux.
01:10
<
hurricos >
I think with the bcm43465 the reason it works with brcmfmac is because it is manufactured as well as an independent module
