Do these firmware files go to a different directory then? I would like to run my current kernel (b43 from git or 2.6.24) and the new one without having to exchange files every time I boot another kernel version. And yes, WLAN is my _only_ connection to the internet. Is it impossible to support both ABIs? HS PS: I am using Debian testing. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
