Thanks for the prompt response. I have a dell e1505. Do I need an updated fwcutter as well? What is the actual driver I need? The device is broadcom 1390? On 6/1/07, Larry Finger <larry.finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

The error is _EXACTLY_ what it sounds like. With fc6, you were using bcm43xx-softmac, which uses V3 firmware. With fc7, you switched to bcm43xx-mac80211, which needs V4 firmware - just what the error message said. The solution is to download a V4 driver and create the appropriate firmware. Larry
