As I said, the card doesn't seem to be recognised.
I was thinking to compile the latest version, but if I'm not mistaken, this: 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git' is the entire kernel source. Can I compile somehow the bcm43xx or bcm43xx-mac80211 only for my current kernel ? thanks _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
