I grabbed wireless-dev and gave it a shot, however it didn't work for me. In /var/messages I see bcm43xx_d80211: 32-bit DMA initialized So it didn't seem to be using the 64bit DMA. Does it automatically load 32/64 that it needs/supports? Do I need to set something (kernel/driver/etc) ? ifconfig wlan0 up had to be called multiple times (the first once or twice it would give a Protocol Error, but then on the 2nd/3rd it would load). The moment I hit enter on iwlist scan, I'd get a kernel panic. Details: AMD64, 1.2GB RAM bcm4306 rev03 firmware taken from http://svit.epfl.ch/stuff/wl_apsta.o If there's still a chance my card may support the extra addressing, I'd be more than happy to provide whatever info is needed. Given that the laptop states a max of 2GB RAM, it would be rather strange to ship a wireless card that stops working at half that, no? -AF _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
