Hi all.
I'm writing because I have some problems with my Airport Extreme card on
my ibook g4.
I've recompiled a 2.6.17 kernel with bcm43xx support.
No problem in compilation, no one when i bring up the module:

ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.7
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
bcm43xx driver
bcm43xx: Chip ID 0x4306, rev 0x2
bcm43xx: Number of cores: 6
bcm43xx: Core 0: ID 0x800, rev 0x2, vendor 0x4243, enabled
bcm43xx: Core 1: ID 0x812, rev 0x4, vendor 0x4243, disabled
bcm43xx: Core 2: ID 0x80d, rev 0x1, vendor 0x4243, enabled
bcm43xx: Core 3: ID 0x807, rev 0x1, vendor 0x4243, disabled
bcm43xx: Core 4: ID 0x804, rev 0x7, vendor 0x4243, enabled
bcm43xx: Core 5: ID 0x812, rev 0x4, vendor 0x4243, disabled
bcm43xx: Ignoring additional 802.11 core.
bcm43xx: PHY connected
bcm43xx: Detected PHY: Version: 1, Type 2, Revision 1
bcm43xx: Detected Radio: ID: 2205017f (Manuf: 17f Ver: 2050 Rev: 2)
bcm43xx: Radio turned off
bcm43xx: Radio turned off

But when i bring up the interface with ifconfig eth1 up, kernel says
many times:

bcm43xx: TODO: Incomplete code in keymac_write() at
drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_main.c:1135

then:

bcm43xx: Keys cleared
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

At this point if I try to associate with an access point
iwconfig says: Access Point: Invalid
and dmesg: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

Then this is a strange thing... If i turn off my ap and
i try to set Monitor mode, it seems that everything works fine..
I can start kismet... and it's ok... it find nothing..
But when I turn on my ap, Boom, the CPU works at 99% and kernel repeat
many times:

Jul 24 11:03:50 localhost kernel: printk: 4 messages suppressed.
Jul 24 11:03:50 localhost kernel: bcm43xx: MAC suspend failed

then System hangs and my ibook halts... no other messages.

Well, in MacOSX the Airport card works fine..
I try to change my card with the one of my friend, a bcm4306 rev3 and
everything works fine! I tried to change the card in another ibook with
same kernel and it do the same of mine, doesn't work..

I hope that the report is useful and someone can help me.

Bye

PAD

P.S.
I'm sorry, I don't have a good english
