| From: jeffrey franc-law <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | I have been running Suse 9.2 with the Linuxant Broadcom driver for the | past 2 years, with not difficulty. R3420ca, athlon 64. | | Last week I upgraded my ram (replaced the "second" slot 256m with a 1gb) | to 1.2gb total. Now, when I turn the machine on the wireless will not | run.
The chip has some crazy limitation: it can only DMA into memory addresses below 1G (or something like this). Not documented by Broadcom, but what is? This was discovered two years ago. I think that ndiswrapper, linuxant, and the native driver all were adjusted to reflect this. So I am surprised that you are observing it now. Maybe you are observing something else. Here is the start of a thread about the problem http://lists.pcxperience.com/pipermail/linuxr3000/2005-March/005085.html SuSE 9.2 came out just before this. Could your linuxant driver be older than the fix? | Jeffrey Michael Franc-Law, MD, CCFP.EM, D Sport Med, EMDM Candidate | Assistant Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine, University of Alberta Hello from Toronto! _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
