Ah...  are you one of the ARDEN guys?

Also a Ham here, have been observing but haven't dipped in yet to the ARDEN
networking stuff. Almost went to Scale, though didn't see all that many
(non basic) Ham related events.

I may be able to help with the Broadcom thing.  Know someone in there, not
directly working on Wi-Fi, but might get some contacts.

So effort spent on Broadcom to open things at the radio firmware level up
would be worthwhile, I think. Far easier than Atheros/Qualcomm, which is
now being pitched to the highest bidder and whose future is very uncertain.



But I have no idea how to start the conversation with Broadcom.

I've been working with Broadcom WiFi for 9 years now.  Not sure exactly
what you guys are looking for.  If somebody can summarize that I can ask
around a bit.

Also, there are three different market spaces being:

o) Access points
o) Mobile devices (e.g. phones)
o) IoT

The IoT market/devices <http://www.cypress.com/internet-things-iot> would
required talking to people at Cypress.
