Loading b43 (when compiled with BCMA support) will cause loading both: ssb and bcma. That's true, this is caused by symbols b43 uses. This is expected. Now look at drivers/bcma/host_pci.c and try to find a reference to 0x4312 (since your card it 14e4:4312). Or try to find a sign of "bcma" in dmesg. bcma does not try to touch 14e4:4312 in any way. It gets loaded but does nothing. There must be something else in your builds affecting performance. If you want to compare 2 kernels, remember to do cold boots. Some things in (WiFi) hardware configuration may survive reboot. _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list b43-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
