Hi All, I'm writing to inquire about a "new" firmware drivers for Broadcom 43xx: On April 6, 2008 it looks like broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.2.tar.bz2 appeared on http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/. The install guide for b43 recommends you use b43-fwcutter-011 and broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 I tried to use broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.2.tar.bz2 with b43-fwcutter-011, but it complained that the md5 sum was not recognized :). Just wondering if there is any way to use this new firmware? Thanks in advance, GI PS: The main reason I ask is for "performance": A while ago I reported that my Broadcom 4312 gave 2/3 the speed under b43 (2.6.25), when compared to ndiswrapper. (I tested by running ttcp, and measuring the throughput. I got roughly 3MB/s with ndiswrapper, and 2 MB/s with b43). I just upgraded to 2.6.26, and found that my b43 speed *increased* to 2.4MB/s :). So thanks to whomever is responsible! I was also hoping that if I upgrade even the firmware I would be able to "toast" ndiswrapper. (I transfer large files on my home network often, which is why I care about the speed so much.) -- 'Cigarette' -- A pinch of tobacco, wrapped in paper, fire at one end, fool at the other.
