Hi, Thanks for you answer. Did I understand right ? : So, when not changing kernel configuration, I am using the b43 driver, which is non proprietary, but is not from the kernel subtree.
If it is so - where is the b43 code which is used in this case (when only selecting CONFIG_TARGET_brcm47xx_Broadcom-b43 from "make menuconfig")? I try: from src/backfire_svn/package find . -name b43*.* And I get: ./mac80211/files/b43-fwcutter-fw-dirname.patch ./mac80211/files/host_bin/b43-fwsquash.py rgs, Kevin On Sat, Oct 6, 2012 at 10:45 PM, Jo-Philipp Wich <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi. > >> AFAIK, this configuration uses proprietary b43 mopule. > > No, it doesn't.
