All: I have a large group that uses the ssb module along with the Broadcom 4318, in a CF form factor. If the CF card is inserted before boot, and the ssb module is not in the initrd process, the laptops lock up and do not become operational. The solution to this problem is/was adding the ssb.ko to the initrd process. So I agree with Luis on this, the ssb module will have to be added/updated to the initrd process. As for PCI operations, I don't know, but for PCMCIA operations ssb.ko has to be added and/or updated. Anytime I am testing new releases of b43, I run "update-initramfs -u" to update the ssb module. (Sometimes you can do a rmmod ssb and rmmod b43, and then modprobe them back in. - This saves a reboot) Thanks -Tex _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
