Addendum: Installing bcm43xx-fwcutter, following the instructions on berlios.de, I have managed to get the radio turned on. dmesg now reports: ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x0D, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x09, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 2 found: PCI (cc 0x804, rev 0x0C, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 3 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x07, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Switching to ChipCommon core, index 0 ssb: Switching to PCI core, index 2 ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:06:02.0 bcm43xx_mac80211: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found ssb: Switching to IEEE 802.11 core, index 1 bcm43xx_mac80211: Found PHY: Analog 3, Type 2, Revision 7 bcm43xx_mac80211: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 8 bcm43xx_mac80211: Radio turned off wmaster0: Selected rate control algorithm 'simple' bcm43xx_mac80211: Adding Interface type 2 ssb: Switching to PCI core, index 2 ssb: Switching to IEEE 802.11 core, index 1 bcm43xx_mac80211: Loading firmware version 319.102 (2005-10-15 22:46:19) ssb: Switching to ChipCommon core, index 0 ssb: Switching to IEEE 802.11 core, index 1 bcm43xx_mac80211: Radio turned on bcm43xx_mac80211: Radio enabled by hardware bcm43xx_mac80211: !WARNING!

Also, when system-config-network is executed after this has been achieved, there is still no wlan0 available in the device or hardware list. So whats next folks? Thanks for any help anyone can offer. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
