Some recent BCM43XX devices lack an on-board SPROM. The pertinent data
from the SPROM could be included in the kernel; however, this presents
a problem in the generation of a unique, reproducible MAC address. The
solution has been to create a utility that generates a virtual SPROM
image with a rand
Hi,
I've just upgraded my laptop from Ubuntu Karmic to Ubuntu Lucid Beta1
(2.6.32 kernel), and the open source b43 driver is working wonderfully
for me:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
02:00.0 0280: 14e4:4315 (rev 01)
