Michael, On the current Ubuntu kernel (2.6.24), trying to load b43legacy causes a kernel hang with BCM4301 and BCM4303 devices. In trying to debug this, I have b43legacy blacklisted and I am trying to get useful information on the hang from netconsole.
Before getting started on the above, I have noticed the following in the dmesg output: ssb: Core 0 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x02, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 1 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x00, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 2 found: Fast Ethernet (cc 0x806, rev 0x02, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 3 found: V90 (cc 0x807, rev 0x01, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 4 found: PCI (cc 0x804, rev 0x03, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device 0000:00:0b.0 --- snip --- b44.c:v2.0 b44: Invalid MAC address found in EEPROM b44 ssb0:1: Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting. b44: probe of ssb0:1 failed with error -22 The ssb core listing is exactly what I expected; however, the attempt to load b44 is not. The only device with vendor code 0x14e4 is the BCM4301. In addition, b44 is not being forced to load by /etc/modules. The loading of b44 is not the cause of the problem, but I would like to understand it. Can you explain what I see? Are there any other places to look for forced loading of modules?
