I have finally found some time and hardware to test it, but the tarball is overwhelming at its 186M. And the worst thing, the server disconnected after 30M and appears to be down right now. P.S. It's up, ETA is 48 minutes. There were two files there. I hope either is fine. I'm trying to download WRT150NV11_v1.51.3_ETSI.tgz Cannot we petition Linksys to put wl_ap.o outside the tarball? Or maybe Broadcom could do it? Even a zip file would be better. It's possible to cut a part of the zip file and uncompress it with gzip. It's really a travesty of open source. The file is available, but you have do download 186M of useless (for me at least) mips compilers and other stuff. And I have a relatively good connection. You can extract firmware out of the wl_ap.o file contained in this tarball using latest fwcutter. You must pass the option --unsupported to fwcutter. Fwcutter-010 with official support for a new firmware image will be released soon. Do you know that the Subversion repository of fwcutter has no files at all? I mean svn://svn.berlios.de/bcm43xx/trunk Yes, I will try --unsupported, with version 009. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev

issues with bcm4306
Hi, I'm the proud owner of the following Belkin f5d7011 cardbus card: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03) Subsystem: Belkin F5D7011 54g+ Wireless Network card [1799:7011] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast TAbort- TAbort- MAbort- SERR- PERR- Latency: 64 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 10 Region 0: Memory at 2400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] which broadly speaking, works reasonably well. I just updated to the latest wireless-2.6 kernel and have a couple of issues to report. 1. Lights stay off on the card, even when it's working and associated. 2. There seems to be some timing issue with a Netgear WGR614 access point (but no others I've tried). If I login with gnome, the network-manager tries to connect automatically to the AP as it knows it from previous sessions. This fails unless I have first removed the memory of this ESSID from gconf. rm -r .gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks/ESSID/ I can then login, select the ESSID from the list, type in the passphrase (it's WPA) and it connects fine. Attached is a dmesg from the current running system. I booted, logged in, got the failure as in [2] above, logged out, reloaded the b43 module, removed the gconf info, then logged in and successfully joined up to the access point. I think both of the above have been mentioned on this list before, but I thought I should report them. If someone would like me to debug this further, I am open to instructions. I also own a bcm4318 Airforce One card which is slightly less stable (though its lights do work!) so I might send a separate email regarding that. Thanks for all the code and please let me know if I can be of help giving up debug info for these cards.
