The patch works - no CPU-usage, no dmesg flooding. And 'iwlist scan' now gives proper results. I should get my WLAN AP today so I can finally test it. No b43 experience on 64-bit kernel, though... Great work. Thank you very much! -- Matti _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
