Thanks Paul. This is confusing me ... I thought that the b43 (as opposed to the legacy bcm43xx) is the latest in kernel driver and that's why I chose it. It is probably still under development. I am just emerging gentoo-sources-2.6.33-r1 and I'll see if the situation improves. Otherwise I will have to remove it and emerge the proprietary drivers instead, until the b43 matures a bit more. -- Regards, Mick
