new firmware: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error
Using a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) on 2.6.24.3-50.fc8 With the 4.80.53 firmware, the b43 driver told me ( in syslog ) to upgrade the fw before july 2008. So I did it today. Now: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error last message repeated 7 times b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error printk: 23 messages suppressed. .. constantly. It seems to work fine, just all these syslog messages. sean ___ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev

OK, break my heart. I actually thought that since it had the intel 965 chipset, that it would have intel wlan, but I shoulda checked...

Then rmmod b43; modprobe -vv b43. No errors. Nothing in syslog. modprobe also loaded cfg80211 and mac80211. Shouldn't I have seen the firmware being loaded in dmesg, or syslog? Nothing at all about the 4311 card in dmesg. Made sure NetworkManager was working. Restarted it. I can see the icon. No connection. If I connect the wire it starts up the wired connection. dmesg does show this error: ssb: rev 6000 WARNING: at drivers/ssb/main.c:889 ssb_tmslow_reject_bitmask() (Not tainted) Call Trace: [88118878] :ssb:ssb_tmslow_reject_bitmask+0x76/0x7f [88119062] :ssb:ssb_device_is_enabled+0xf/0x39 [8811b232] :ssb:ssb_pcicore_init+0x19/0x4a [881185e2] :ssb:ssb_attach_queued_buses+0x83/0x25e [88119ce8] :ssb:ssb_pci_get_invariants+0x0/0x2ba [88118be8] :ssb:ssb_bus_register+0x144/0x196 [88118cea] :ssb:ssb_bus_pcibus_register+0x2a/0x4b [8811a5a9] :ssb:ssb_pcihost_probe+0x6f/0x9e [81137d8d] pci_device_probe+0xd0/0x137 [811a1033] driver_probe_device+0xff/0x17c [811a11f8] __driver_attach+0x90/0xcc [811a1168] __driver_attach+0x0/0xcc [811a1168] __driver_attach+0x0/0xcc [811a03ca] bus_for_each_dev+0x43/0x6e [811a0742] bus_add_driver+0x7b/0x19d [81137f6f] __pci_register_driver+0x68/0x9a [880e9045] :ssb:ssb_modinit+0x45/0x5d [8105d8b3] sys_init_module+0x15d5/0x173a [8100bbfe] system_call+0x7e/0x83 ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCI device :01:00.0 I also rmmod b43, and modprobe'd b43legacy.
