Could you try to (git) bisect this problem? This will unfortunately take hours to do, but should give us commit that broke support for your wifi. For howto you can check http://landley.net/writing/git-quick.html Generally I think you should do something like: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git cd linux-2.6 git bisect bad 22763c5cf3690a681551162c15d34d935308c8d7 git bisect good 74fca6a42863ffacaf7ba6f1936a9f228950f657 You can eventually bisect on drivers/net/wireless but I'm not sure how to do this properly. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
