Here's where we differ. See Larry would tell you what you need to send. He's like a saint that way. I would say "Don't send anything else. We can't help you with no input, and you don't provide input." On the other hand, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that PERHAPS if you have ANY brainpower left, you include a full dmesg as well as an lsmod | grep b43 as well as an iwlist wlan0 scan ... or not.

Hi,

I figured out the b43 module can find my network (with iwlist scan) if
I don't press the radio switch button. After turn it off and turn it
on again, it doesn't work anymore.
But even after find the network and configure the device with
iwconfig, it doesn't work and I get this warning about DMA on dmesg:

So, I tried to not use DMA modprobing with pio=1 param, but I got this error:
$> SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot allocate memory

This error message was after if up, and not after modprobe.

Br,

DMA seems to be necessary.
Any idea about the problem?

Br,

David


 iwlist wlan0 scan ?

 output from same?


 You know the really nice thing about this list is I know no matter how much
of a bastard I think I might be perceived as, if I answer before Michael I
know it could have been worse ;-) (I'm human, you know...)

 Hi,

I have a HP nx6110 laptop with bcm4318 wireless card using
wireless-2.6 tree (git-pulled: jan-31 2008).
Unfortunately, the b43 module is not working well:
 - After if-up the wlan device, the radio is off (got from dmesg) but
the radio led is on.
 - If I press the radio button, the radio turns on/off (got from dmesg
also) but the ledsstays always on.
 - Even tuning the radio on, I can't find my home wireless network
with 'iwlist scan' (but I can find from other laptop).

Does anyone know if it is a known bug? Or does anyone can help me with that?

Thanks in advance,

David
