-Broadcom Mac80211 driver
+Broadcom brcmsmac (mac80211-based softmac PCIe) and brcmfmac (SDIO) drivers.
 
-Firmware installation
-======================
-Firmware is available from the Linux firmware repository at:
+Completely open source host drivers, no binary object files.
 
-	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
-	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
-	https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
+Support for the following chips:
+===============================
 
-For all chips, copy brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw and brcm/bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw to
-/lib/firmware/brcm (or wherever firmware is normally installed on your system).

+Both brcmsmac and brcmfmac drivers require firmware files that need to be
+separately downloaded.
 
-Bugs/Problems
-==============
-- Driver can get confused while scanning during high throughput, can cause
-  burping, hanging, and possible crashing.
-- Occasional hangs & burps with BCM43224 on 2.4 GHz with dual stream rates.
-- Occasional crashes with BCM43224 on multicore machines.
