Broadcom is on 10 January officially joined the Linux Foundation. The company wants to work directly with the developers over this connection in the Linux Driver Project and the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit, as well as with other manufacturers and suppliers. For Linux users, the candidate takes probably a better driver support for the Linux operating system for wireless cards and chips.

Michael Hurlston, senior vice president and general manager of Broadcom’s wireless division, said the candidate: “Without doubt, Linux is an important platform for communication devices have become and technologies, our decision to the source code of the driver for Broadcom 802.11 chip to open source to make. is a response to the growing number of our customers who use Linux. We believe that this will be the first project in a long line of successful ventures in the field of open development. “

Amanda McPherson of the Linux Foundation, commented thus: “Broadcom has understood what almost knows every major high-tech companies these days: to bring collaboration and open development, many benefits, from better hardware support, to lower development costs We applaud Broadcom to youngest. decision to work more closely with the Linux community together. The membership of the Linux Foundation speaks volumes in terms of the commitment behind the decision. “

Users of Linux notebooks for years had more of a bad relationship with Broadcom. While both Intel and Atheros Linux driver as well as the associated source code provided, Broadcom did almost nothing for its Linux customers. But in 2007 the company changed its strategy and provided more and more support for the Linux platform.

In September 2010, Broadcom finally gave the source code freely for the “first version of a completely open Linux driver for the latest generation of 802.11n chipsets.” This driver has now been introduced into the Linux kernel 2.6.37 and is now being actively processed by the entire Linux community and improved.
