The problem is, this driver is written only from reverse engineered data, but the device needs a lot of attention from the host software. Many things just cannot be implemented without a good understanding of the hardware registers. The driver is getting better, but it not perfect. I do appreciate that you have tested it and that we know that the physical layer is likely suspect. > But unfortunately that's not a feasible setup for me, and I had to > switch back to ndiswrapper.

And if you go to ndiswrapper, it would be great to see you back once the driver handles your setup better. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
