Tried that patch. B43 is loaded but there are probs with alsa and
hald left, though. I wait for rc2, Maybe test git? .

I am loading nis at boottime. If there is no net net available,
nis's broadcasting slows down my powerbook to an unusable
system.  I'll test it in a none lan environment.

Hi all,

b43 is loaded but:
Apr  8 19:47:05 samweis kernel: b43: probe of ssb0:0 failed with error -2

Any sugestions?

I tried that at 2.6.29.1 and got:
drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.c: In function 'setup_struct_wldev_for_init':
drivers/net/wireless/b43/main.c:3904: error: 'b43_modparam_verbose' undeclared

compat package b43 2.6.24.1

2008-02-10 Thread Elimar Riesebieter
Hi all,

tried the compat package. I've run make; make install; depmod -a
and then tried to load the b43 driver:

Feb 10 12:50:07 aragorn kernel: b43: Unknown symbol pcmcia_disable_device
Feb 10 12:50:07 aragorn kernel: b43: Unknown symbol pcmcia_unregister_driver
Feb 10 12:50:07 aragorn kernel: b43: Unknown symbol pcmcia_map_mem_page
Feb 10 12:50:07 aragorn kernel: b43: Unknown symbol pcmcia_request_window
Feb 10 12:50:07 aragorn kernel: b43: Unknown symbol pcmcia_request_configuration

Feb 10 12:50:07 aragorn kernel: b43: Unknown symbol pcmcia_register_driver
Feb 10 12:50:07 aragorn kernel: b43: Unknown symbol pcmcia_request_irq

Kernel:2.6.24.1
The stock driver runs well.

grep -i pcmcia .config
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRCOM is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRTULIP is not set

0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g 
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)

It is a powerbook.

Thanks for any hint.

Elimar
