Wow, if the cheap Broadcom wireless chips have a software-defined radio 
in them that would definitely be worth reverse-engineering.

I thought only the spendy TI chips were candidates for SDR hacking.

Of course, they couldn't possibly release an API that didn't include 
the calls to the SDR functions.  And clearly not helping linux will 
thwart Kim Jong Ill's squadron of Evil Hackers from reversing the chip. 
  Broadcom is so patriotic.
