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 _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://bat.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
