Hi,
on an HP625 I have the following device
06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/
n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:145c]
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
This device isn't recognized by the brcmfmac driver but only by the
brcmsfac driver.
That is expected. brcmfmac is support sdio/usb cards. brcmsmac is used
for bcm4313 card.
My kernel configuration is
# Broadcom specific AMBA
#
CONFIG_BCMA=y
CONFIG_BCMA_HOST_PCI_POSSIBLE=y
CONFIG_BCMA_HOST_PCI=y
# CONFIG_BCMA_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_B43 is not set
# CONFIG_B43LEGACY is not set
CONFIG_BRCMUTIL=m
CONFIG_BRCMSMAC=m
# CONFIG_BRCMFMAC is not set
CONFIG_BRCMDBG=y
looks ok.
but doing /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
crashes the kernel - even<Ctrl><Alt><Shift><SysRq> doesn't work anymore.
I've tried strace, but the output file doesn't get closed so it's missing
after reboot.
You could try some kernel hacking features. Some can help to get some
vital info on screen.
Any help is very much appreciated.
P.S. the GRML64 live CD system does work on that hardware but it uses a
3.1 kernel and a staging driver.
Since I'd like to use BTRFS I'd like to use a 3.3 kernel.
Helmut.
Some more details would certainly increase my ability to help you.
