OK, break my heart. I actually thought that since it had the intel 965
chipset, that it would have intel wlan, but I shoulda checked...

In the meantime, if I can supply any info, just let me know.

As John Linville suggested, rev 02 of the 4311's are not supported. At the 
moment, the reverse
engineers need to take apart the latest Broadcom driver and write the 
specifications for this
device. Until they find the time, this device will not work with either b43 or 
bcm43xx.

Sorry,

Larry

Please post the output of this command:

cat /sys/bus/ssb/devices/ssb0\:0/uevent

I suspect that your device's core is too new to be supported.

Technically a warning, not an error. :-)

4311: trouble with Fedora 8 Test 3

2007-10-10 Thread sean darcy
Compaq Presario C714NR, Intel GM965

uname -r
2.6.23-0.224.rc9.git6.fc8

lspci
01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan
mini-PCI (rev 02)

Installed b43-fwcutter and followed the instructions at
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware

Got http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2

untarred that file and ran
b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmare broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta.o

that seemed to work, and populated /lib/firmware/b43/ with a bunch of
*.fw files.

Then rmmod b43; modprobe -vv b43. No errors. Nothing in syslog.

modprobe also loaded cfg80211 and mac80211.

Shouldn't I have seen the firmware being loaded in dmesg, or syslog?

Nothing at all about the 4311 card in dmesg.

Made sure NetworkManager was working. Restarted it. I can see the icon.
No connection. If I connect the wire it starts up the wired connection.

dmesg does show this error:

ssb: rev 6000

I also rmmod b43, and modprobe'd b43legacy. No help.

Any help appreciated.
