So from what I'm reading the driver seems pretty stable for xbmc/totem. Was wondering if it's more then likely going to make it into .24? If so I gotta go find one for my AppleTV, that will really help with playback of backup movies/etc. Anyways, I did search the mailing list, but someone asked for update back in May, was told someone was working on the driver, just curious if it's making it's way into .24. Thanks.<br>
<br>
BTW last I looked, the place I found it for like $50 was sold out. Are they back in stock anywhere for near that price point?<br>

I highly recommend the newer bcm70015 card, in addition to handling more video formats, it also has a built in hw scaler (only down for now) and consumes much less power than the bcm70012.<br>
<br>
Also some old layout bcm70012 seem to have bad DRAM and might be faulty. It seems that ebay sellers got these from some unknown production method and they were never sold individually by Broadcom. Standard operating procedure when getting things made in China I guess.<br>

I bought a few from them, worked flawless. Ever heard from someone it was a problem or is it hearsay ?<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Scott wrote userspace portions of the driver and the XBMC support-- I daresay he's probably a trustworthy authority on which cards have issues ;)</div>
