Thanks for the tip... but it still does not work for me for some strange reason :-( I am running the latest git of the kernel you specified above. I still kept getting the same behaviour and a firmware upgrade warning. I upgraded the firmware. The firmware warning is now gone but the DMA errors keep coming even if the only thing I do is to scan. ( I used to see scan results without errors until yesterday's git update). The new kernel logs after the latest git update is as follows. I am not getting the rc5 kernel if I do a git-pull from the above tree. Isn't it always supposed to be synced with upstream? Is this card officially supported/will be supported in 2.6.25? Thanks, Abhijit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- uname -r: 2.6.25-rc4-wl dmesg output: kern.info: ACPI: Lid Switch [LID0] kern.info: input: Sleep Button (CM) as /class/input/input7 kern.info: ACPI: Sleep Button (CM) [SLPB] kern.info: b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found kern.debug: b43-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 4, Type 2, Revision 9 kern.debug: b43-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2 kern.debug: phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid' kern.info: Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] kern.info: Adding 2097136k swap on /dev/sda2.
