System on a chip#
Broadcom produces many SoCs that can combine processor, ethernet, WiFi, USB and more. b43 can operate on WiFi cores present in SoCs similarly to the ones present on standalone PCI/PCIe cards.

Please note that devices with PCI(e)/USB core (working in a host mode) can have extra cards attached. We don’t list them in the table, as it’s vendor choice what additional card will be used. For example:
Netgear WNDR3400 V1 uses BCM4718 and has extra BCM43224 attached
Netgear WNDR3700 V3 uses BCM4718 but has extra BCM4331 attached
