| BCM43231 and BCM43236 (rev <= 2) have another architecture and can't be easily supported by **brcmfmac**. They have less memory on the chip and can't run full MAC firmware, so they require implementing some extra code in the Linux driver. On the other hand they are not standard soft MAC devices, so they can't be supported by **brcmsmac** or **b43**. | BCM43231 and BCM43236 (rev <= 2) have another architecture and can't be easily supported by **brcmfmac**.

| + | === NVRAM from EFI === | ||
| + | Some new devices are storing the nvram which is needed in addition to the firmware by the driver in an EFI variable and the Windows driver can access it (this file should be optional in the case of PCIe devices). Currently brcmfmac does not support this automatically. | ||
| + | First mount the efi vars into sysfs: | ||
| + | mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars | ||
| + | |||
| + | The content of the nvram is in this file: | ||
| + | /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/nvram-74b00bd9-805a-4d61-b51f-43268123d113 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Copy this file where brcmfmac expects the nvram, for example: | ||
| + | cat /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/nvram-74b00bd9-805a-4d61-b51f-43268123d113 > /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.txt | ||
