I don't think this is correct. >From which part of the specs did you get this? http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/802.11/PHY is where the PHY_Version register is explained. "phy_version"=="AnalogType" Actually it is possible that phy_revision is mask 0xFF, but that's not too important at the moment, as we don't have revisions>0xF, yet. But besides that, it's interresting that this "fixes" things for you. Especially since wireless-2.6 has no support for hw-power-control, which is needed by cards 4318 and newer. -- Greetings Michael. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
