That's interesting... so is that SPROM rev2 with CRC counted like for rev1? Are you sure about this case? AFAIR: 1) John got CRC error when we dropped hack and treated SPROM as revision it reports 2) John got success CRC check when we hacked his SPROM to "be" rev 1 > At the moment, we have some SPROM fallback code that has not been fully > implemented, and is probably not needed.

I don't believe we will find out SSBs without SPROMs and implementing support for new Broadcom cards should not depend on SSB code... so I do not any problems about that. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
