Hi The above adapter is installed in my ACER Extensa 5220, googling around I found various references to this chip, the main resume seems to be "works only with ndiswrapper." Is it true and if it is ATM, is it going to change?:-) Any work in progress or plans to support it natively? lspci -vv output is at http://home.arcor.de/g.liakhovetski/extensa5220/. Tried brutally adding the PCI ID to the ssb driver and ssb ID to the b43 driver. Here's the result: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:04:00.0 disabled ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:04:00.0 to 64 ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x16, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x0F, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 2 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x0A, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 3 found: PCI-E (cc 0x820, rev 0x09, vendor 0x4243) ssb: WARNING: Invalid SPROM CRC (corrupt SPROM) ssb: SPROM revision 255 detected. ssb: Unsupported SPROM revision 255 detected.
