Hi, It could be that I am missing something. I tried building the firmware as explained here. Under b43_v4.6 one firmware (extension fw) file is created, named: ucode5.fw. I have LinkSys WRTG54GL with backfire (10.03.x). I am using b43 driver. I ran: insmod b43.ko and got: b43-phy0: Broadcom 5352 WLAN found (core revision 9) phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'minstrel' Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: P, Firmware-ID: FW13 ] which seems OK. Now I copied ucode5.fw to: /lib/firmware/b43 on the device. I run: hostapd /etc/hostapd. I get this message in the kernel log: b43 ssb0:3: firmware: requesting b43/ucode5.fw b43 ssb0:3: firmware: requesting b43/pcm5.fw b43 ssb0:3: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0initvals5.fw b43 ssb0:3: firmware: requesting b43-open/ucode5.fw b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/b0g0initvals5.fw" not found b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode5.fw" not found 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. Now, I noticed two things: 1) it asks also for other firmware files. Isn't the ucode5.fw file the only one needed ? 2) It also looks for "b43-open" folder, not only for "b43". Could it be that the driver I am using is not updated and does not support this OpenFWWF firmware ? (backfire has 2.6.32.27 kernel). Or should there be some additional firmware from somewhere else ? rgs, Kevin On Sun, Oct 7, 2012 at 11:33 AM, Michael Büsch <m@xxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, 06 Oct 2012 15:27:55 -0500 > Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> That repo was converted from HTTP to GIT form some time ago.
