im not too sure if anything has been done about this, but i have a broadcom
4311 (notice the subject :) ) but its actually a dell mini-pci 1390. im
using kernel 2.6.20-rc3...i have the bcm43xx built into my kernel, along
with softmac, and the whole shabang...when it gets loaded at boot, it says
this according to dmesg:
bcm43xx driver
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LK2E] enabled at IRQ 19
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> Link [LK2E] -> GSI 19 (level, high)

bcm43xx: Detected Radio: ID: 2205017f (Manuf: 17f Ver: 2050 Rev: 2)
bcm43xx: Radio turned off
bcm43xx: Radio turned off
later in dmesg it shows this:
bcm43xx: IRQ_READY timeout
bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-19)
bcm43xx: IRQ_READY timeout
bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-19)
bcm43xx: IRQ_READY timeout
bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-19)
everytime i switch my card on or off it shows:
ACPI: EC: evaluationg _Q10
but the led for the wifi card doesnt change, its still orange (off)
ifconfig eth1 up gives me this:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 No scan results
iwconfig
eth1 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"essid" Nickname:"bcm4311"

Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm

i got my firmware from http://bu3sch.de/bcm43xx_fw.php and extracted with
bcm43xx-fwcutter and put them in /lib/firmware (used v3.x)
any help would be greatly apprecitated!
thanks!
