It may have partly been a problem of having half of softmac and half devicescape. I'm not entirely sure what udev did. I tried a patch for the Sonic Silicon that was posted and I turned off all the configuration for the softmac driver. It isn't crashing right now but 802.11 isn't working either. I may get a chance this weekend to try some things with it, and some different firmware sets. If the new bcm43xx drivers do not support 802.11b at all and never will, I missed the documentation. Someone should add that to Kconfig. -- Zan Lynx <zlynx@xxxxxxx>
