Andrew, consider inclusion of the following patch into -mm
for further testing, please.

This patch adds support for generic Hardware Random Number Generator
drivers. This makes the usage of the bcm43xx internal RNG through
/dev/hwrandom possible.

A patch against bcm43xx for your testing pleasure can be found at:
ftp://ftp.bu3sch.de/misc/bcm43xx-d80211-hwrng.patch

Please merge with Deepak Saxena's generic RNG stuff, rather than
duplicating efforts.

Well, I did not know that someone else already wrote something
like this. Do you have any pointers to his stuff (patches)?

Hi, I'll email you the patchset off-list so you can look at the API
and write the bcm43xx driver against it. They are a few months old and need updating to 2.6.latest and it is on my 2.6.18 TODO. If you search the archives there were a few small issues left such as separating out all the x86 stuff into separate amd, via, and intel code instead of having a single
file.

Are the patches in any state to include in -mm?
