You can get all information you want from http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/ There's no such thing as "the MAC state". There are hundreds of registers related to various "MAC states". So you'll have to be more specific on what you want to know. -- Greetings Michael. _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
