I posted a couple of days ago to the bcm43xx_dev list about problems getting b43 to run on a arm (MX21 SoC). That list appears to have died recently (at least nothing added to the archives since last month) That problem is fixed now (and patch posted) However I now get: pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 pcmcia 0.0: pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0 ssb: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (cc 0x800, rev 0x0D, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 1 found: IEEE 802.11 (cc 0x812, rev 0x09, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 2 found: PCI (cc 0x804, rev 0x0C, vendor 0x4243) ssb: Core 3 found: PCMCIA (cc 0x80D, rev 0x07, vendor 0x4243) BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/vmalloc.c:1367 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 128, pid: 1361, name: modprobe 2 locks held by modprobe/1361: #0: (buses_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<bf03761c>] ssb_bus_register+0x48/0x1a4 [ssb] #1: (&bus->bar_lock){......}, at: [<bf038e38>] ssb_pcmcia_read32+0x24/0x74 [ssb] irq event stamp: 105917 hardirqs last enabled at (105916): [<c027cf34>] __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x120/0x150 hardirqs last disabled at (105917): [<c027eee0>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x20/0x60 softirqs last enabled at (105853): [<c0042f60>] irq_exit+0x50/0x64 softirqs last disabled at (105832): [<c0042f60>] irq_exit+0x50/0x64 ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2465 lockdep_trace_alloc+0xac/0xec() Modules linked in: b43(+) ssb mac80211 mxc_pcmcia ---[ end trace 7a542bbcadb0bb88 ]--- ssb: Sonics Silicon Backplane found on PCMCIA device pcmcia0.0 b43-phy0: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found (core revision 9) b43-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 3, Type 2, Revision 7 b43-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 8 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel' Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: M, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] And then when I do ifconfig wlan0 up: b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/pcm5.fw b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0initvals5.fw b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10) b43-phy0 ERROR: Initial Values Firmware file-format error. b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website. I am using firmware broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5 extracted with b43-fwcutter-012 as described http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware Any ideas why the versions don't match? The firmware files are arch independant right? (since I run fwcutter on x86 and run the kernel on ARM) Kernel version is 2.6.32-rc5 The PCMCIA controller driver is new (I recently posted it to linux-pcmcia and linux-arm) Cheers, Martin -- 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
