Ok good to know, but what exactly is the legacy version of the driver? Is it simply the old softmac version (aka bcm43xx atm.) or is it the port of that driver to mac80211 (via the patch that was on here a few days ago)? The current bcm43xx-mac80211 driver will be the one renamed to bcm43 correct? - David _________________________________________________________________ Find a local pizza place, movie theater, and more….then map the best route! http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&ss=yp.bars~yp.pizza~yp.movie%20theater&cp=42.358996~-71.056691&style=r&lvl=13&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=950607&encType=1&FORM=MGAC01 _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
