I have a Broadcom a/b/g + blue tooth card, lspci says it's a Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1470 DualBand WLAN (rev 02)
In my new HP ;) However it has a 4319 chipset. There were a few modifications necessary to get that card working. JoseJX on irc provided the fixes/band aid to get things working for now. At least b which is all I care about for now. A few tweaks to bcm43xx_main.c and I am up and running. First these lines had to be added. /* Broadcom 4319 802.11a/b/g */ { PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM, 0x4319, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 }, Then I had problems with my mac address not being detected, so this resolved that. /* Set the MAC address in the networking subsystem if (bcm43xx_current_phy(bcm)->type == BCM43xx_PHYTYPE_A) */ if (1) memcpy(bcm->net_dev->dev_addr, bcm->sprom.et1macaddr, 6); else memcpy(bcm->net_dev->dev_addr, bcm->sprom.il0macaddr, 6); Basically, could have commented out the entire if statement or etc, but you get the idea. First works to detect my mac, alternative left me with no mac :(. I was told that the if statement should be matching 802.11a compatible cards, not just A PHYs. Anyway progress, and I am up and running. Very grateful to JoseJX's help. Would still be plugging in everywhere I go without. Of course, still work to be done, so the rest is functional, but all in due time. If I can help to test, debug, etc contribute in any way, please let me know. Thanks. -- Sincerely, William L.
