Hi,
I already sent this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but got no
response yet. With the transition to 2.6.25 in testing it might be
important:
Using firmware version 410.2160 results in massive problems with my
wlan card. The connection is established (WEP), but fails sooner or later
(usually after a couple of seconds or minutes, not immediately, during
data transfer: 'b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error').
The card worked fine with firmware version 351.126.
Please find some more information below. If I can be of any help, let
me know. Thanks,
Andi
