Is this expected?
Where were you looking? In dmesg, you should see something like: ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x11, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x0A, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 2 found: USB 1.1 Host (cc 0x817, rev 0x03, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 3 found: PCI-E (cc 0x820, rev 0x01, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:01:00.0 b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found There will not be any other b43 messages until the interface is brought up. > wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 > b32-phy0 ERROR: bbatt(11) >= size of LO array > ... > > Is this error serious? > > > I was able to connect to my AP, despite the error. I assume that you meant b43 when you typed b32, but that error is not serious. It results from a problem with the specs. It will happen every time until the root cause is found. Depending on which BCM43xx model you have, you may also see errors like b43-phy0 debug: Invalid LO control pair (I: 111, Q: 111) and b43-phy0 ERROR: Adjusting Local Oscillator to an uncalibrated control pair: rfatt=3,no-padmix bbatt=2 These are due to errors in the code and/or errors in the specs. We are working on all these problems. What effect they have on the performance is unknown, but it cannot be too severe. Last night I had to boot into Windows (uugh!!) and happened to notice that the bit rate for my BCM4311 was toggling between 18 and 24M. With the same setup, b43 usually is at either 48 or 54M. Take that Broadcom!!!!!!! Larry _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
