My HP-2140 uses the STA driver (which provides the 'wl' kernel module) under Jaunty 9.04 and that works fine. However, I am *not* running the stock 9.04 kernel due to problems with the Intel graphics driver in 9.04. To be more specific:
* I think Intrepid (8.10) worked "out of the box" with the 2140 but I'm not positive. Its been a year since I installed that. * I upgraded to Jaunty (9.04) and that was miserable using its stock kernel due to the Intel graphics driver. I upgraded that kernel to the linux-image-2.6.30-02063005-generic kernel on the Ubuntu site to get a working (but slow) video driver. * Then I downloaded version 5.10.91.9 of the BCM STA driver from Broadcom. This required two patches to upgrade the driver to support 2.6.30, one of which included another bug fix. I think that bug crashed the kernel which I'm not seeing running on Karmic. But, with these patches (which basically tweak the driver for internal kernel API changes from 2.6.28 to 2.6.30), the STA driver is working OK. I still have the patch files if they would be any use. (They're probably not relevant to this B43 bug). -- Some Broadcom chips unsupported by B43 wireless driver [BCM4322] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/376259 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
