thank god, i just got this tablet today and imo its software isnt very good. Old release of kernel source is really nothimg to write home about.

Oh wow...dev's is this what you needed? Hope so.

Great post OP...thank you!!

No, unfortunately this is not what the devs need, because devs already have this. This has been out since November 2011 and hasn't been updated ever since I believe because it doesn't support the latest LA3 firmware. The problem is that samsung didn't provide the wifi driver in the source code.

I whis this was something new, but if I'm not mistaken this source code has been out for a wile now and only contains most of the code. But Samsung left out a few peices of the puzzle, mainly the kernel stuff that the devs on this form need to really get going on this tab.

Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium

ohhh someone have a look anyways see what you can make from this

hold on a sec guys i have been told they are new don't ask who by but i thinks we can get exited now yaaaaay......!!!

well I downloaded it, and there is a modified date of 1/14 for the kernel. There is a whole bunch of files for wifi in /drivers/net/wireless/, they are b43 files. Maybe when I go home I will set vmware up on my pc and try to build this, but I will probably play Skyrim instead.

nooo...build it haha do you think its a new update all the devs seem to ignore it thinking its an old one but my friend who developed vegacomb sed its an update to the last with corrections or something haha they are very ignorant on here haha

The linked news articles both date back to November - completely worthless, they're announcing the original source release.

However there are now three source code drops, one of which appears to be China-specific. One of the others might be new source.

As to a bunch of b43 stuff in drivers/net/wireless - not useful. The b43 driver is for Broadcom's recent desktop chips. Useless for mobile devices, even ones with a Broadcom wifi chipset (which the Tab 7 Plus does not even have.)

Now if there's an AR6K driver - that would be interesting.

Also, this doesn't belong in Development, it belongs in General.
