It _is_ standardized. bcm43xx-softmac only supports v3, bcm43xx-d80211 only supports v4. So if you want to use both drivers in parallel, use fwpostfix modparam and install both firmware with different postfix (I use .v3 and .v4 postfix). -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
