I will recheck my code with the specification web pages. That patch didn't change anything for me. It is good that the signal, noise and quality are similar to what Windows gets. > So I copy some part of kernel log to each patch try : > > 2.6.18.1 + signal_quality : > > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:09.0[A] -> > Link [APC4] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 74 > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Chip ID 0x4318, rev 0x2 > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Number of cores: 4 > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Core 0: ID 0x800, rev 0xd, > vendor 0x4243, enabled > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Core 1: ID 0x812, rev 0x9, > vendor 0x4243, enabled > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Core 2: ID 0x804, rev 0xc, > vendor 0x4243, enabled > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Core 3: ID 0x80d, rev 0x7, > vendor 0x4243, enabled > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: PHY connected > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Detected PHY: Version: 3, Type > 2, Revision 7 > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Detected Radio: ID: 8205017f > (Manuf: 17f Ver: 2050 Rev: 8) > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Radio turned off > Oct 18 16:10:27 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Radio turned off > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: PHY connected > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Microcode rev 0x127, pl 0xe > (2005-04-18 02:36:27) > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Radio turned on > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: ASSERTION FAILED > (radio_attenuation < 10) at: > drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_phy.c:1496:bcm43xx_find_lopair() > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: ASSERTION FAILED > (radio_attenuation < 10) at: > drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_phy.c:1496:bcm43xx_find_lopair() > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: ASSERTION FAILED > (radio_attenuation < 10) at: > drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_phy.c:1496:bcm43xx_find_lopair() > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Chip initialized > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: 32-bit DMA initialized > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Keys cleared > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: Selected 802.11 core (phytype > 2) > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: bcm43xx: ASSERTION FAILED > (radio_attenuation < 10) at: > drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_phy.c:1496:bcm43xx_find_lopair() > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: SoftMAC: Associate: Scanning for > networks first. > Oct 18 16:10:29 neutrino kernel: SoftMAC: Associate: failed to initiate > scan.

Have you seen the firmware load failure before? Anyone have any ideas here?
