Michael, With your experience with the bcm43xx and other drivers, I hope you can help me. With my new Turion 64 X2 laptop with a Dell 1390 (BCM4311) wireless card, I am getting no transmissions. I don't know about received data. If I let it try to scan long enough, I get lots of the following messages logged:
bcm43xx: Out of DMA descriptor slots! When I shut the card down, I get the following slot usage: bcm43xx: DMA-32 0x0200 (RX) max used slots: 0/64 bcm43xx: DMA-32 0x02A0 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: DMA-32 0x0280 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: DMA-32 0x0260 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: DMA-32 0x0240 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 bcm43xx: DMA-32 0x0220 (TX) max used slots: 512/512 bcm43xx: DMA-32 0x0200 (TX) max used slots: 0/512 Obviously, the TX DMA is not getting through. I'm running an x86_64 system. The behavior is the same whether I configure SMP or not. This card will not work in PIO mode, so I cannot test it that way. I'm a little reluctant to reload an i386 system, but I could if necessary. When I boot the wireless-dev kernel, it works. I have looked at the differences between wireless-2.6 and wireless-dev, but I don't see anything other than the obvious design differences. Have you seen anything like this before? If so, where should I look? I didn't want to bother you, but I'm not making any headway.
