Package: libertas-firmwareVersion: 9.70.7.p0.0-1
hi, To write this email I'm using Suse linux 11.4 with the ndiswrapper package for a windows driver for my wireless adapter. The rest of this email refers to the latest version of Debian linux. I've downloaded and installed the latest version of Debian linux - on a separate partition with dual-boot - and am trying to get a Debian driver for my wireless LAN adapter to work. It's based on the Marvell chipset 88w8338. Here's the output from lsusb: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1286:1fab Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. 88W8338 [Libertas] 802.11g output from dmesg: adrian@home:~> cat debian-dmesg.txt | grep "usb 1-7" [ 17.653166] usb 1-7: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci_hcd[ 17.855860] usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=1286, idProduct=1fab[ 17.871647] usb 1-7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0[ 17.887432] usb 1-7: Product: MARVELL Wireless Device V1.0.1.2[ 17.903208] usb 1-7: Manufacturer: MARVELL What's missing from the package contents page:https://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/firmware-libertas is a reference to 8338 as a driver code. Can this be fixed please? thanks, Adrian
