Default [Q] BCM4751 kernel drivers?

I have been looking through the source code Samsung released. I have yet to find the drivers for this chip. Can someone point me in the right direction. The reason I am confused is there is a driver/patch going around for this device in the diff file it places the drivers in /drivers/misc/bcm4751 in the source code. But Samsungs released code does not have the driver in that location. I was wanting to compare the code to see if this could help the GPS problems. Hum this is strange. Or I am overlooking something. http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/li...0/8/23/4609917


Ok well I have found the answer I was looking for. There is no kernel mode driver. It looks like it is setup by a user mode daemon. Damn closed source companies. But it still could be useful for a vanilla build. If it could be ported from MEIF(Nokia) to NMEA.

It looks like that driver is for Nokia phones.

Yes I read that too. But that was not my question. I was asking if anyone knows where the drivers are for the bcm4751 in samsungs source code.

I don't think they are in the source code. It looks like they are part of the modem binary.

Oh sorry, saw you found it already.
