(Re-posting, since I forgot to confirm) Hello, After two monthes trying to find a solution, I'll post directly on the bcm43xx ML.
- The Launchpad bug is there : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182716 (this thread is confusing and solves different issues but not the main one) Tech info : - uname -a Linux mokona 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 23:01:54 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux - lspci -nnvvv 02:09.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03) Subsystem: Linksys Unknown device [1737:0013] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 32 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 20 Region 0: Memory at fdffe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] - b43-fwcutter -l b43-fwcutter version 011 The firmwares are in /lib/firmware/b43 and /lib/firmware/b43legacy The issues, now : Despite what is mentionned there : http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#bcm43xx.2Cb43legacy.2Cb43.2Csoftmac.2C...thefullstory , this card (Linksys WMP-54G pci) doesn't work with b43legacy but b43. Indeed, blacklisting b43 and loading b43legacy won't create any interface. Removing b43 module from blacklist and loading b43legacy will also load b43 : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# modprobe b43legacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# lsmod | fgrep b43 b43 118176 0 b43legacy 129564 0 ssb 32772 2 b43,b43legacy mac80211 165652 2 b43,b43legacy rfkill 8592 8 b43,b43legacy,rfkill_input led_class 6020 2 b43,b43legacy input_polldev 5896 2 b43,b43legacy - While everything works fine with bcm43xx, replacing it with b43 results in timeouts (the same thing as described in this thread : https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2008-March/006995.html ) Dmesg output after loading b43legacy : [481560.308707] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:09.0[A] -> Link [APC4] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 [481560.331833] ssb: SPROM revision 1 detected.
