You need to blacklist (and unload) the ssb module as well as the b43 module to use the proprietary driver. This tripped me up to begin with. You also need to amend Kconfig in net/wireless by hand in order to compile the lib80211 WEP/TKIP/CCMP encryption modules (make config/menuconfig/xconfig will not offer this as an option). > But PIO mode continues to work fine.

Makes sense to me, and makes the > driver work for me without any special hacks. On using PIO, I have found that it works with WEP encryption but runs into difficulties with WPA. Chris PS I am not a b43 developer. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
