The strange thing is that the "b43-phy0 debug: !WARNING!..." line
disappeared from the dmesg output after I replaced ssb.ko by a
self-compiled version (and - of course - rebooted).
All other kernel files have kept exactly the same (originating from
kernel-2.6.23.9-90.fc8.ppc.rpm grabbed from
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/). The original ssb.ko has been built
without defining CONFIG_SSB_DEBUG, while I turned CONFIG_SSB_DEBUG on.
Executing "dmesg | egrep 'b43|ssb|wlan0|wmaster0'" now begins with the
following 5 additional lines:
ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x04, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x05, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Core 2 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x02, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Core 3 found: V90 (cc 0x807, rev 0x02, vendor 0x4243)
ssb: Core 4 found: PCI (cc 0x804, rev 0x09, vendor 0x4243)
According to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 "the full
MAC core version is printed in the kernel logs when "SSB debugging" is
enabled in KConfig and the driver finds a board." So, could someone
please explain which of the 5 SSB debug dmesg lines prints "the full
MAC core version"? I am curios about this to be sure if my system
needs the b43 or the b43legacy driver.
Thanks.
