Hello! It looks like all tests with the experimental LO calibration code were for bcm4306 and bcm4318. So I downgraded my Dell laptop from bcm4328 to bcm4311 (PCIe Mini Card), so that I can cover this gap and finally switch to a free driver.
Everything seems to be OK. I'm using the current linux-wireless repository plus mm-only-b43-rewrite-lo-calibration.patch from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.25/2.6.25-mm1/broken-out/ # lspci -nnv -s 0c:00.0 0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI [14e4:4311] (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device [1028:0007] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at fe8fc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [58] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [d0] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting <?> Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel <?> Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge Kernel modules: ssb ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:0c:00.0 b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid' Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: P, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10) I'm using WEP to an AP on another floor. The connection is reliable. I don't see any disconnects at all. I downloaded several videos, uploaded a lot of pictures, talked on Skype (for more than 120 seconds :)), ran an X application over ssh, and now writing this e-mail - all things that an ordinary user would do. Everything is fine. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
