Try: ln -s bcm43xx-0-610-809-0.fw bcm43xx--0.fw ln -s bcm43xx_hdr-0-610-809-0.fw bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw (Or just rename the files). We dropped the release numbers from the filenames a while ago. I sent a patch to rename the files in the repo, but I don't think it ever got applied. - Henry Henry Ptasinski henryp@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: linux-wireless-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <linux-wireless-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; RafaÅ MiÅecki <zajec5@xxxxxxxxx>; Chaoxing Lin <CLin@xxxxxxxx>; Brett Rudley Sent: Fri Mar 11 08:43:24 2011 Subject: Re: Status of Broadcom 4353? Thanks a lot Chaoxing, Larry and Rafal, I installed the Linux firmware (20110128), as you can see by 'ls /lib/firmware/brcm/ -l' total 368 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 269595 Mar 11 16:57 bcm4329-fullmac-4-218-248-5.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1604 Mar 11 16:57 bcm4329-fullmac-4-218-248-5.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97376 Mar 11 16:57 bcm43xx-0-610-809-0.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 180 Mar 11 16:57 bcm43xx_hdr-0-610-809-0.fw However, after rebooting and even after recompiling and rebooting the kernel, the wireless adapter doesn't yet show up. Hence, I decide to give more details on the problem, to see if something is missing: (1) The Dell Latitude E5410 is running Gentoo AMD64 with all packages up to date. (2) The latest 2.6.38-rc8 kernel is used. (3) The kernel config can be seen at http://pastebin.com/ExAzLHr8. (4) The dmesg is uploaded to http://pastebin.com/wV3Wp54r. (5) The output from lspci is at http://pastebin.com/Giqs7kkA. Any thoughts, please?
