[Q]What wireless adapter does the SGH-T989 use? [SOLVED]

[binarybishop]

What wireless adapter does the SGH-T989 use? I am trying to locate this information so that I can start modding the drivers to allow packet injection and monitor mode. I am fairly new to Android modding, but I am fairly experienced with linux. Could someone answer me on here or PM me? Thanks.

You can go thru these and see if there's something.

I would love you forever if you got that working.

Funny how an honest to goodness development question sits unanswered for so long on a "developers" forum. Well I'm sure you weren't holding your breath waiting for this and already found it, but just in case: looks like a Qualcomm WCN1314 (see APQ8060 in the doc, which appears to be the SoC employed by the T989 SGS2 variant):

Maybe this will turn out to be a real development discussion!

Actually, I just found it yesterday. It is a Broadcom wifi chipset (bcm4330).

So it is! I couldn't find reference to it anywhere, so I finally did what you probably did and installed a terminal emulator to ask linux what it is (still not rooted). As an aside, I couldn't find a spec sheet on the WCN1314 at all.

Google "sgh-t989 wifi chipset"

Funny, I figured you already did that so I didn't bother and went straight to the Qualcomm spec sheet :-S
