Re: [ANN] Broadcom Wireless Chipsets reverse engineered
Hello.Actually I did. I just noticed that the very first time I ty modprobe, I getbcm43xx: no version for "ieee80211softmac_wx_set_rate" found: kernel tainted.bcm43xx: Unknown symbol udelay (and only the second line appears again if I re-try)So, I guess I'm missing something when I build the driver, but it's quite wierd because it seems to run smootly.

Hello. I was able to follow the procedure to build thebcm43xx driver. Anyhow, when I try to modprobe the it I get"Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)"and dmesg says bcm43xx: Unknown symbol udelayI guess I did something stupid, but I don't know what. Does domeonehave any idea?Thanks a lot for your help maurizio

I'm configuring my interface using static IP address and i'm able to scan for networks using iwlist scan however, it seems i cannot associate with my AP.

I don't recall compile errors in softmac - there's a bunch of warnings about unavailable symbols but the resulting modules load OK. > I can ifup eth1 with a static ip-address, but can't reach the router: Yep, that's about as far as I get. iwconfig does report 'no wireles extensions' on the device. On firmware load (after ifconfig eth1 up) I get a warning about a possible driver bug in bcm43xx_phy_setupg() (line 333 bcm43xx_phy.c) but the code seems to carry on successfully in that case. Do you see something like that as well? > So it must be (I think) something related to the upgrade in the code of > bcm43xx and/or softmac. > > Has anyone observed this. I've not tried the earlier versions. Both bcm43xx and softmac are in some sort of SCM so backing out recent changes might be easy to do. When did you download the working sources?

After trying bcm43xx for a while I 'svn up'ed the driver to revision 808 and also upgraded wireless-tools to version 27+28pre11 and softmac...damn! Softmac gave compilation errors that I managed to solve, but don't know if this made the code not to work properly... I can ifup eth1 with a static ip-address, but can't reach the router: pbook-acb:# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface 192.168.62.00.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.62.10.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth1 pbook-acb:# telnet 192.168.62.1 Trying 192.168.62.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host I downgraded wireless-tools to 27+28pre10 without luck. So it must be (I think) something related to the upgrade in the code of bcm43xx and/or softmac. Has anyone observed this. A.

Using a static address did the trick! This email is sent using bcm43xx ;) Time to try it... A. Corbi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Using a static address works. I can't use "ifdown eth1", it freezes my ibook. I use "modprobe -r bcm43xx" as a workaround.

I got a new ethernet interface called eth1. iwconfig shows the essid of my network...but 4) I've configured my router to use dhcp and "dhclient eth1" doesn't get an IP address from the router. After several tries it says it has no offers. I don't know if this is expected to happen with this version of the software...I mean I'll try later to give eth1 a static IP address and see what happens.
