Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter. This file has an unknown MD5sum 162475477be5af17346b430446ebdd9d > e.g. What is written to stdout when you try to extract the firmware? > There are two major versions of the firmware, version 3 and version 4, > and the driver in the mainline kernel can only understand version 3. > The fwcutter tool, however, should understand both but warn you about > trying to use version 4 firmware. The above message (with different md5sums) was printed out when attempting to use the tool against *all* of the files extracted from sp34488.exe. > Also, the initialization messages from the driver would be helpful. > Load the driver and then send us the last several messages printed in > 'dmesg'.
