No - the standard code cannot access the registers of a PCI-E device. > I can try to install the gentoo-sources 2.6.18, which is marked as "not > stable" at the moment, along > with the patch mentioned.

So, we are not losing anything... By all means, try Stefano's 10-piece set. If that works, we will know more, but I'm not sure. My patch will not apply to 2.6.17. I'm not sure why Gentoo calls 2.6.18 "not stable". There are problems with the bcm43xx driver in the vanilla code, but my patch fixes all of them. Once you apply the patch, you will essentially be running the 2.6.19 version of bcm43xx. Actually, I'm the maintainer of bcm43xx-softmac and the reason I'm looking for testers is to prove the quality of the PCI-E patches. Yes, I'm hoping to get them into 2.6.19 before it closes.
