Hello,
I'm having problems trying to use the b43 driver for my BCM4311 card.
It's a Dell 1390 mini-PCI adapter that works fine with bcm43xx in
kernel 2.6.23.13 (drivers bcm43xx and b43legacy don't work in 2.6.24
too, they don't give any error message, but when loaded, there's no
eth1 (as it used to be) or wlan0 interface).
The driver (b43) is loading well with the necessary firmware loaded,
but when using wpa_supplicant to associate with an access point, it
get stuck in the association process, problem because of the WARNING
that's being generated on dmesg by B43_WARN_ON on parse_cookie() from
dma.c (I'm using the same procedure that works fine with bcm43xx in
kernel 2.6.23.13).
Here's some information about my system:
