The firmware version included in 4.174.64.19 is 478.104 (notice that is is not 4178.104, but 478.104 - the driver and firmware versions are not related!). > > <snip> > > And the Fatal DMA error: 0x400 repeats from there. > > -Nate > Hi! Could you post an mmiotrace of the following? - ssb+b43 failing on cold boot - wl loaded on cold boot - wl loaded on warm boot (with wl having been loaded prior to reboot) - ssb+b43 working on warm boot (same as above) Thanks, Gábor -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
