I think another point which is also really important is to EXTENSIVELY TRIM messages that you reply to. It is quite common that Gmail users include the full previous history of a thread in every reply they create and this is absolute madness! Please be more aware of how you post, and make sure to trim when sending replies. Some particular behavior of Gmail (maybe it hides old parts of the thread?) is not an excuse for you to waste everyone else's time! //Peter ___ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
Re: b43/b43legacy driver
Thanks Rafal! I updated the kernel to 2.6.32 and it doesn't work yet. monte...@latosca:~$ uname -a Linux latosca 2.6.32-020632-generic #020632 SMP Thu Dec 3 10:58:45 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux After updating the kernel I have deleted the directory /lib/firmware/b43 and I have executed again the below procedure. After that I restarted my laptop and it doesn't work... :-( Can you help me, please? You are using the b43 driver with an LP-PHY card (e.g. BCM4312) Follow these instructions if you are using the *b43* driver from * linux-2.6.32* and newer or *compat-wireless-2.6*, or from any current GIT tree, and have a device with a low-power PHY. Use the current Git version of b43-fwcutter. Download, extract the b43-fwcutter tarball and build it: git clone http://git.bu3sch.de/git/b43-tools.git cd b43-tools/fwcutter make cd .. Use version 4.174.64.19 of Broadcom's proprietary driver. (The tarball is mislabeled as 4.178.10.4, but it is actually 4.174.64.19.) Download and extract the firmware from this driver tarball: export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR=/lib/firmware wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux sudo ../../fwcutter/b43-fwcutter -w $FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR wl_apsta.o Note that you must adjust the FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR path to your distribution.
