Forced a new tarball out with new changes applied, would appreciate
some testing on 2.6.21, 2.6.22. You can get the tarball from the
usual place:

Thank you very much!
Now everything compiles fine on 2.6.22.

I cannot send you test results yet. It looks like I have to read some more documentation first. For now I can only tell you this:

a) Test on a PC with a Broadcom 4306 rev 03:
- Downloaded and installed the firmware.
- The module b43legacy loads without errors, but nothing else happens.
  ifconfig doesn't show any new interface, like eth0 or wlan0.
# modprobe b43legacy
=> messages: Mar 5 23:14:02 af-nb-3 kernel: [10519.728000] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PID, Firmware-ID: FW10 ] => dmesg: [10519.728000] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PID, Firmware-ID: FW10 ]

Maybe this is important: dmesg says "Firmware-ID: FW10", but there is no ucode10.fw in /lib/firmware/b43legacy, only 2, 4, 5, 11 (downloaded today, as described in the wiki).

# lsmod | grep 43
b43legacy             102040  0
ssb                    36484  1 b43legacy
mac80211              220020  1 b43legacy

# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8378 [KM400/A] Chipset Host Bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8237 PCI Bridge
00:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
...


b) Test on a PC with MSI PC54G2 ... RaLink rt2500
You wrote "For now I'll disable rt2x00 in compat-wireless."
So, the result of this test seems to be unimportant (it tried to load the old driver).


If you would like to see the output of any test, that I can do for you, just let me know.

Greetings,
Franz
