no luck :( twoo diferent kernels 2.6.15-rc5 and 2.6.15.1 also your source of bcm43xx and sofmac and no luck. When we can expect official module in kernel?
thanks for your help and time Ruben :) Ruben at Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 04:19:10PM CET wrote: > > At Mon, 16 Jan 2006 14:49:41 +0100, Milan Toth wrote: > > > > OK.
