Dear Adrian,

Thank you very much for your hard work! I will test the driver
as soon as I come back from a work-related symposium I am at right now.

In your last e-mail you mentioned that some of the Broadcom bcm 43xx
driver code is GPL-licensed. Do you think there is any chance to re-write it
somehow as to make it compatible with the FreeBSD base system license-wide?

If you need some help testing the driver I am all up for it. I have a
fairly working
FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE installation on a 2009 MacBook laptop with bcm 4321.
It would be nice to see the driver make its way to 11-RELEASE. Probably too
much wishful thinking on my side, though :).

All the best,
Andy
