Hi all, I'm on Kubuntu 2.6.32-rc8-wl and according to lspci I have this Broadcom card: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02) and modinfo b43: filename: /lib/modules/2.6.32-rc8-wl/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko firmware: FW13 license: GPL author: Gábor Stefanik author: Michael Buesch author: Stefano Brivio author: Martin Langer description: Broadcom B43 wireless driver srcversion: 77E3E0ECBCB6EA787FE05CF alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev10* alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev0F* alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev0D* alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev0B* alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev0A* alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev09* alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev07* alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev06* alias: ssb:v4243id0812rev05* depends: ssb,mac80211,led-class,cfg80211 vermagic: 2.6.32-rc8-wl mod_unload modversions PENTIUMM 4KSTACKS parm: bad_frames_preempt:enable(1) / disable(0) Bad Frames Preemption (int) parm: fwpostfix:Postfix for the .fw files to load.

But when I try to up wlan0 that from iwconfig shows this: wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1a:73:xx:xx:xx BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) or when I try to use hostapd: Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf ctrl_interface_group=0 ioctl[SIOCSIFFLAGS]: Name not unique on network nl80211 driver initialization failed. wlan0: Unable to setup interface. rmdir[ctrl_interface]: No such file or directory ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=5 eloop_data=0x80f0a38 user_data=(nil) handler=0x80874 so how to have multiple interfaces (in my case one AP and one station) with b43? I haven't found a solution googling Best Regards -- Natale Vinto http://www.gotext.org http://bluesman.gotext.org -- 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
