I get this message every time I load b44 . No other messages. Using kernel 2.6.22 and b44 version 1.01 there is no problem with the mac adress. With newer kernels I sometimes saw this message, but networking continued to work. so maybe this is bug 2, too. I just cheked it: booted 2.6.27.9 with init=/bin/bash modprobe ssb (output like before) don't load b43legacy. modprobe mii insmod b44.ko hang with: b44: invalid mac address found in EEPROM b44 ssb0:1: Problem fetching invariants of chip,abording b44: Probe of ssb0:1 faild with error -22 BTW: I think larry finger is on the mac problem: > I'm nearly > completed with a pretty extensive rewrite of ssb-sprom, and I would like an > additional sample of a rev 8 device. > > Are you using compat-wireless?

It is a kernel 2.6.27.9 as downloaded from kernel.org It is patched only with dell-laptop from matthew garret. But I can do a clean compile. What version do you like me to use? 2.6.27.9 or 2.6.28? bye Ulf _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
