Re: bwn updates - now BCM4321, BCM4322

I'm glad it's working!

I'll go make the PHY attach failure more noisy so people know what's going on.

Hi,

Turned out the problem was at my end, I apologize for the noise. Though I was 
sure I've checked I was running a kernel _without_ the GPL PHY code. After 
donning a pointy hat and standing in a corner for a while, I now have a working 
BCM4321, this is brilliant!

Again thank you for your work and putting up with all the line noise from 
resulting from stupid user mistakes :)

hi,

I'll go add some more debugging to the attach side of things. It does
that when it doesn't recognise the phy, and that's silly.

Re: bwn updates - now BCM4321, BCM4322

[Björn Jonare]

Hi,  

First let me say that I very much appreciate your work on bwn. Broadcom devices 
are, alas all too common :( Anyway I dug an old iMac out of storage and 
installed a recent CURRENT (r300836) since I knew the wifi chip in it to be 
some variant of the BCM4322.

After uncommenting all needed lines (?) in the Makefile regarding GNU PHY 
support I loaded bwn_v4_ucode,  bwn_v4_n_ucode and if_bwn. Upon checking dmesg 
I got this:

siba_bwn0:  mem 
0xd020-0xd0203fff,0xd000-0xd00f irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3
siba_bwn0: warn: multiple PCI(E) cores
siba_bwn0: unsupported coreid (USB 1.1 Host)
bwn0 on siba_bwn0
bwn0: failed
device_attach: bwn0 attach returned 6



So, the driver doesn’t attach :(

Since my understanding of drivers is well, lacking, is there anything I could 
do to get this specific version of BCM4322 to work[1]? I would be glad to 
provide any information needed.


[1] That is to get the driver to attach. I have no illusions regarding 
functionality, this is after all a Broadcom chipset!

bwn updates - now BCM4321, BCM4322

[Adrian Chadd]

Hiya,

I managed to get the BCM4321 and BCM4322 working. You need to load
bwn_v4_n_ucode for BCM4322 and then it should "just work".

BCM4321 also works on bwn_v4_n_ucode - it uses the same newer ucode API.

You can't load bwn_v4_n_ucode and bwn_v4_lp_ucode just yet - I need to
address that.

Let me know if you can test out either of these chips!
