Something to do with the mac addr > being alls FF's? Yes, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF is not a valid MAC. Mac80211 refuses to initialize a card with an invalid MAC address. Now, the question is, how does the MAC address end up being FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF...? Presumably there is a switch(phy->type) in the generic (non-LP-specific) code that doesn't have case B43_PHYTYPE_LP and returns FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF as the default. I'll investigate. BTW could you post the output of "iwconfig wlan0", "iw dev wlan0 info" and "iw phy phy3 info" (replace phy3 with the phy name from dmesg)? > > Mark > > > * Card pci id: > 10:00.0 0280: 14e4:4315 (rev 01) > Subsystem: 103c:137d > > ** git version: > http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=commit;h=b2004c4a9483b295a7413d41d08604943670ab26 > -- Vista: [V]iruses, [I]ntruders, [S]pyware, [T]rojans and [A]dware. :-) _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
