Oh, wasn't meant like this. :) I just wanted to say that you're most likely not going to find the bug this way. :) > I have to be > careful.

Well, the SPROM code was completely rewritten and the radio code was partially rewritten. So there's enough room for bugs. :) There are several SPROM values that affect TX heavily. Do you have a WLAN spectrum analyzer btw? Can you test whether there actually is a signal produced by the card? I hope that my card will arrive soon, so I can test this as well... -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
