> So if the WiFi chip is something that is available in a non-Apple system, one could tweak the AArch64 Linux driver a bit and get it to work on AArch64 Mx Linux. Yeah that's precisely what they did. According to this [0] dmesg of a mac mini, M1 macs have the BCM4378 chip, for which they use the existing [1] brcmfmac driver. That driver is years old. A cursory look into git log drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac shows maintenance from various people, including folks with @broadcom.com e-mails, reaching back to 2015 (but that might only have been the date the directory was moved, it might be actually older, as again it's only been a cursory look to establish a lower bound on the age). They did have to add some patches to add support for the specific chip used by apple thogh, which they are upstreaming [2], but they weren't starting from scratch.
