Hi Falco, Sorry for the late reply, it took me some time to get my dev machine running. It appears my BCM43228 identifies itself as the same model as yours. I've tested it and it works fine with 3.17 and 3.19-rc2. I switched to the same firmware you use and it was still OK. Performance varies (for most of time it's about 20Mb/s but sometimes drops down to 8Mb/s, but it works). Were you using this card successfully with wl.ko? I don't really know what may be wrong with it :| _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
