Hello John et al, (previous email had a typo in ML addr, sorry for the extra noise) Both b43 and b43legacy fail to load on bcm4318 for a while now, while it used to work (with known issues) more or less fine. The issue started happening not long before ssb united the support of b44 as well. Therefor, I noticed the difference soon, because I am not able to use ndiswrapper instead anymore (it does not like ssb, and my NIC, b44, does not like ssb missing either). dmesg looks like the below: b43-phy1: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found b43-phy1 debug: Found PHY: Analog 3, Type 2, Revision 7 b43-phy1 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 8 phy1: Failed to select rate control algorithm phy1: Failed to initialize rate control algorithm b43: probe of ssb0:0 failed with error -2 Currently this is latest rawhide kernel, but has been happening for awhile (since, at least, 2.6.22.5, where ssb was not yet merged and I still able to use ndiswrapper. Any hint to debug/investigate it appreciated. It does not look like hw malfunction, since ndiswrapper, when able to load, still works fine. -- Sincerely, Vitaly - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
