I am running 2.6.24-git13 i386 kernel on Athlon64 with 2GiB of RAM (Gentoo updates tend to kill HD's...) Bingo! I removed one mem comb, that makes 1GiB of memory left now, and all I get after 'ifconfig eth1 up && dmesg' is: b43-phy0 debug: Loading firmware version 351.126 (2006-07-29 05:54:02) b43-phy0 warning: You are using an old firmware image. Support for old firmware will be removed in July 2008. b43-phy0 warning: You must go to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the latest firmware (version 4). b43-phy0 debug: Chip initialized b43-phy0 debug: 30-bit DMA initialized b43-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started HW CONFIG: channel=1 freq=2412 phymode=2 b43-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2 'iwlist scan' is also able to show all my neighbours' AP's ;) Can't test it further, because my AP is having a warranty trip. -- Matti Viljanen _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
