[minor note] It's BCM4301, see dmesg or updated http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/14e4/4301 > A piece of dmesg output: > > [ 1491.019304] b43-pci-bridge 0000:02:02.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNK3] -> GSI > 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 > [ 1491.086827] b43legacy-phy0: Broadcom 4301 WLAN found > [ 1491.108067] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 0, Type 1, Revision 4 > [ 1491.108093] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version > 0x2050, Revision 2 > [ 1491.132056] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Radio initialized > [ 1491.432090] b43legacy-phy0: Loading firmware version 0x127, patch level > 14 (2005-04-18 02:36:27) > [ 1491.556324] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Chip initialized > [ 1491.556589] b43legacy-phy0 debug: 30-bit DMA initialized > [ 1491.558904] Registered led device: b43legacy-phy0::tx > [ 1491.558943] Registered led device: b43legacy-phy0::rx > [ 1491.558975] Registered led device: b43legacy-phy0::radio > [ 1491.559001] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started > [ 1491.564107] b43legacy-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2 Looks fine. > [ 1555.492498] wlan0: direct probe to 20:cf:30:ce:0e:c7 (try 1/3) > [ 1555.692058] wlan0: direct probe to 20:cf:30:ce:0e:c7 (try 2/3) > [ 1555.892059] wlan0: direct probe to 20:cf:30:ce:0e:c7 (try 3/3) > [ 1556.092059] wlan0: direct probe to 20:cf:30:ce:0e:c7 timed out Not sure what you could do to debug this. As quite try you can swith to PIO rmmod b43legacy modprobe b43legacy pio=1 If that's not going to help, you could try to dump wireless traffic with another machine. It would be good idea to at least check, if your BCM4301 sends any packet at all. Also, have you tried connecting to any other networks? Would be also nice to try. > [ 1882.024387] b43legacy-phy0 warning: Unexpected value for chanstat (0xC00) The channel info reported by firmware isn't valid. 1) PHY type is not set: #define B43legacy_RX_CHAN_PHYTYPE 0x0003 /* PHY type */ 2) Channel is not set: #define B43legacy_RX_CHAN_ID 0x03FC /* Channel ID */ This shouldn't be critical, as it seems only single packet was corrupted. However it may point some general problem with hardware calibration, or sth. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list b43-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
