Recordemos que para hacer funcionar estas tarjeta inalámbricas es necesario -dependiendo de la distribución- realizar algunos pasos previos (bcm43xx y b43-fwcutter en Linux).

Rumor: iPhone 2 to Have a Broadcom GPS Chip?
2008-04-12 09:42:00 We’ve seen all kinds of rumors, sometimes, we publish them because they might have a hint of truth, but we’re publishing this one because it seems ridiculous: “Tonight, based on a recent informal conversation my Dad had with his friend's wife who works at Apple, he told me the next iPhone is likely to have GPS. Usually, my Dad's friend's wife doesn't let Apple product info slip out until right before a new product announcement is made. This being the case, I'm betting GPS will be included with the 3G iPhone... and soon"That was the good old “a friend of a friend told me…”. Note that the iPhone might very well have a GPS (we think it will). Others have speculated that Broadcom might be the chip. If that’s the case, we think that it may be the Broadcom BCM4750 G-GPS chip. At 35 square millimeters (total solution), it is certainly small enough to fit in.

Broadcom accepts verdict, owed $19.6 million by Qualcomm
2007-11-25 07:35:00 We're tempted to believe that the latest news in the ongoing quarrel between Broadcom and Qualcomm is foreshadowing some form of closure, but considering just how long this thing has been going on, we suppose we shouldn't be so hopeful. Nevertheless, Broadcom has just announced that it will not seek a new trial and will accept the $19.6 million in damages originally awarded in a patent infringement case. The proclamation came after a federal judge affirmed the jury verdict that Qualcomm infringed on Broadcom patents but "removed an award of double damages." Of course, you knew these two bitter enemies couldn't just shake hands and call it even, as Broadcom did note that it would gladly pocket the near-$20 million award and "pursue an injunction against Qualcomm's infringing products." Surprised? Nah, we didn't think so.
Broadcom VS Qualcomm, Patent Suite, Broadcom Wins
2007-11-23 16:30:00 U.S. District Court Judge James V. Selna upheld an earlier decision finding that Qualcomm Inc. infringed on three Broadcom patents,Broadcom also agreed to accept a $19.6 million award for patent infringement damages against Qualcomm.The judge cut the original $39.2 million award in half and gave Broadcom the option to seek a new trial or accept the award. Broadcom now will seek to prevent Qualcomm, from making, using, selling, and developing third-generation WCDMA and EV-DO cellular chips that infringe any of the three patents that were in question.The three patents in dispute were related to video compression, a push-to-talk function similar to a walkie talkie, and technology that enables a handset to simultaneously access data and voice networks.Tags: Broadcom, Qualcomm, WCDMA, EV-DO, patents

Broadcom Corp. (BRCM): Long Term Aspects and Today’s Downgrade
2007-09-27 06:46:00 I sold BRCM today (2007-09-26) at $37.15, after $7 gain. Interesting that the stock was not doing bad today, after the downgrade by an analyst. Sure I could wait, sit still and get better, but I feel like the stock is too stale, and in dynamic flux, the stock is not the best place where my money gonna work really hard, anyways. Now a lot of stocks are breaking up on very large volume, and I need cash to use the opportunties in better ways and in more receptive atmosphere. After all, the rate cut short-term euphoria, while it still lasts, gives you the ability to make $7 per stock in a matter of days, or at least, weeks. Even better if you buy calls on the relatively low volatility skews, of historically very volatile option contracts, with middle term expiration and in the money. 45% - 120% return in 2-3 weeks is real and not too dangerous if you set virtual loss stops to lock yourself in profits. Ok, back to our baby. Q-Stock Rank (see the chart below) is too low, only 40 out of ...

A broadband bet on Broadcom
2007-05-07 06:00:00 “During the Dot.com era, Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) was a poster child for rampant speculation,” says Nathan Slaughter. Indeed, after rising 350%, the stock lost 90% of its value.Now, the value investor and editor of Half-Priced Stocks has chosen the semiconductor firm as his latest ‘undervalued stock of the month.’” Here's his review. “The stock may never command the outrageous premium it once did -- but the company's competitive position and future growth prospects are still highly attractive. “Broadcom was an expert in broadband communications long before that term became a buzzword on either Wall Street or Main Street. Over the years, that specialized expertise has kept the firm at the forefront of many technological breakthroughs. “Today, the company aims to be a market leader (or a close second) in every one of its core markets, with a simple mission to ‘connect everything’ -- either at home, at the office, or o...
