Hi, 2011/4/24 Tobias Netzel <tobias.netzel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > I've got that Broadcom BCM4321 based CardBus device (14e4:4329) and I'd like > to use it with a PowerBook (PowerPC) and linux 2.6.38 . So far it doesn't > seem to work out the box. The card is being recognized and the b43 driver is > loaded but scanning doesn't give any results (although there should be) and > connecting doesn't work either. > Upon ifdown I get a message about DMA errors related to that card. Do I have > to switch the card to PIO mode? How do I do that? > Will there be improved support for that card in linux 2.6.39 ? And in the > future? > (BTW: Booting that very same linux installation on another PowerBook with a > Broadcom-based 802.11g Apple AirPort-Card does work without any problems.) 1) Please write to b43 ML for better support (you can use both lists) 2) Read http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 3) From wiki: 2.6.38 has experimental support only, .39 is suggested 4) From wiki: BCM4321 sometimes does not work with DMA 5) To use pio: "rmmod b43; modprobe b43 pio=1" I'm going to fix DMA errors on BCM4321, but I've some another things to fix first. Observe b43 ML or wiki page for news. -- RafaÅ -- 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
