linux 4.5 for firefly.

Hi, everyone!
I have just ported the ap6335 driver to linux 4.5. I would like to share my ugly patch to you.
I have also packed a new firmware, which is built with buildroot, for you. You can have a try easily.
You can login with root acount, blank password.
If you want to create a access point, just :
echo /lib/firmware/fw_bcm4339a0_ag_apsta.bin > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/firmware_path
ifconfig wlan0 up
hostapd -B /etc/hostapd.conf

The default ssid/password is firefly/11111111, you can change it by editing /etc/hostapd.conf.

Enjoy youself!

Oh,sorry. I forgot one step.
Before you run hostapd -B /etc/hostapd.conf, you should give wlan0 a ip addr 10.0.0.1(depends on /etc/dnsmasq.conf)
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

Great job !!

Does it support the VGA/HDMI output or serial console only ?

Sadly not. I only struggle with ap6335. It still has some problems, though.

sdio_reset_comm() will cause kernel crash. So I remove ENABLE_INSMOD_NO_FW_LOAD . You cannot change between ap mode and client mode without reboot.

Perhaps here I can ask my question with regard to Firefly TK3288 Linux Kerenl.

Can you please adv ...

I have no any vga/hdmi monitor, so the graphic part is not necessary for me. I just want to use as a router running openwrt, as you know. The GPU driver is too hard.
If you do not need any sound or graphic, you can use the newest mainline kernel.
My network is very bad. So I just share a patch, not whole git tree.
