Hello group, I managed to get AP with my bcm4306 rev 2 running using b43legacy and hostapd. I'm using compat-wireless-2009-11-13 with patches from openwrt trunk for my b43legacy driver. I use libnl HEAD version und hostapd 0.6.9.
Now I have two issues. 1) I'm using Miktorik RB/14 4miniPCI => 1PCI Adapter for driving my bcm4306 in x86 PC. It always delivers a signal on minipci PIN 13 which powers down the radio. About this nothing is posted in dmesg. If I disconnect PIN13 in minipci card, the radio is online and I can scan for nets and start ap. Letting b43legacy_is_hw_radio_enabled() always return 1 in rfkill.c did not help. Here is my dmesg when I modprobe b43legacy and do "ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 up": b43legacy-phy6: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found b43legacy-phy6 debug: Found PHY: Analog 1, Type 2, Revision 1 b43legacy-phy6 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2 b43legacy-phy6 debug: Radio initialized b43legacy-phy6 debug: DebugFS (CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) not enabled in kernel config phy6: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel' Broadcom 43xx-legacy driver loaded [ Features: PLID, Firmware-ID: FW10 ] b43legacy ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43legacy/ucode4.fw b43legacy ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43legacy/pcm4.fw b43legacy ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43legacy/b0g0initvals2.fw b43legacy-phy6: Loading firmware version 0x127, patch level 14 (2005-04-18 02:36:27) b43legacy-phy6 debug: Chip initialized b43legacy-phy6 debug: 30-bit DMA initialized b43legacy-phy6 debug: Wireless interface started b43legacy-phy6 debug: Adding Interface type 2 2) I'm only interested in 802.11b so I allowed only bitrates 1,2,5.5 and 11 in hostapd.conf. By using a WLAN client and doing flood pings with 4096 bytes (ping -s 4095 -c 1000 -f), I get several PHY transmission errors b43legacy-phy6 ERROR: PHY transmission error b43legacy-phy6 ERROR: PHY transmission error b43legacy-phy6 ERROR: PHY transmission error b43legacy-phy6 ERROR: PHY transmission error this message is repeated 100 times. The result of the ping command shows me packet loss of about 100 packets. Is there anything I can do against these transmission errors?
