hello, does the driver have a 'run-time' option/parameter to enable printing of debug information or at least be more verbose ?
basically I can't get it to work and it doesn't report any warning/error messages. The only information I have is the following: I'm using Fedora's 7 2.6.21 kernel on a Dell D800 laptop. I extracted the firmware from this file (using bcm43xx-fwcutter): http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o modprobe reports this: $ sudo /sbin/modprobe -v bcm43xx insmod /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/kernel/net/ieee80211/ieee80211.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/kernel/net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx.ko dmesg reports this: $ dmesg | tail ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13 ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> bcm43xx driver disabling and enabling the device again reports this (that's using the <Fn>-F2 key): usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 4 atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x88 on isa0060/serio0). atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e008 <keycode>' to make it known. usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice i.e. I make sure the device is enabled (I can see it in hal device manager properly identified), but iwconfig says: $ /sbin/iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. I also have a modprobe configuration file named 'modprobe.bcm43xx' with the following contents: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.bcm43xx alias pci:v000014E4d0x00004301sv*sd*bc*sc*i* bcm43xx alias pci:v000014E4d0x00004307sv*sd*bc*sc*i* bcm43xx alias pci:v000014E4d0x00004318sv*sd*bc*sc*i* bcm43xx alias pci:v000014E4d0x00004320sv*sd*bc*sc*i* bcm43xx alias pci:v000014E4d0x00004324sv*sd*bc*sc*i* bcm43xx alias pci:v000014E4d0x00004325sv*sd*bc*sc*i* bcm43xx mine has the 4324 id: $ /sbin/lspci -nn | grep -i bcm43 02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4324] (rev 02) thank you -Ioannis PS: I used to have it working with ndiswrapper when I had Fedora Core 6, but I'd like to use the native driver now. I made sure the bcm43xx driver is not in modprobe's blacklist any more. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
