i'm not going to do that. especially for a product that i've
got to stand behind.
i've written drivers for hardware with linux source and no specs.
although that particular hardware was beautifully designed, and
i had full vendor support, it was still pretty difficult without proper
documentation.
from what i understand, the broadcom chips are quirky and have
a long list of errata. i'm not good enough at guessing what
sweet bits i need to put where to keep a moody thing like that
happy.
sorry.
if you have a desktop motherboard with 1x pcie available,
i'd personally recommend the intel pro 1000/PT.

they're about $34. i have two of them in my cpu server at
home.
