Re: Improved opensource firmware
wow! although b43 & openfwwf already worked fine for me, i'm glad to see openfwwf is still improving after a 100 day hiatus. i'm unable to test it ATM, but anyway, thanks for your efforts!

Improved opensource firmware
Hello there, after a long time we just made available a new version of the opensource firmware at http://www.ing.unibs.it/openfwwf (release 5.2). We discovered a bug that was causing the firmware to go into suspension after a phy error due to external conditions: syslog reported a phy error and the mac suspended, interface was no more usable. This bug appears usually when the signal received from the peer is very low, and was reported by several users. Now we can still have phy errors in the system.log but the interface remains fully functional (as it happens with the official firmware). There are also more comments in the source code with some registers explained. Larry, I think this could be one of the causes of the malfunctioning you reported before. If you have some time (and indeed if you feel like doing it :-) ) please test this firmware, it will be great.
