Currently I'm using the one from Digitaldaz since I have not get a usable rootfs, but I strongly suggest u to use something built by yourself if you could.

Still havent been able to get the wireless to work, found out that the brcm-bcm4399 had to remove the brcm- from the front. No more firmware errors. just not getting any wlan0 , when i dmesg | gregp brcm no errors there. Any ideas what to try now?

Get your wifi working? I did the bcm4329-fullmac-4.bin and nvram > bcm4329-fullmac-4.txt and then copied the 2 .fw files from the github. I am still not having any luck with wifi.

Wifi Update,
rfkill listall showed the wifi blocked , odd. So i did a rkfill unblock wifi and now i can get the wlan0 to ifup. But using wicd both wext and nl80211 i cant get it to do anything. thoughts?

That's how I get my wifi work. I don't know more about the detail. I think Digitaldaz add something in his rootfs as his rootfs tarball is ~400MB while the rootstock stuff is less than 300MB.
