I tried to add support for a Centrino Advanced-N 6230 wireless card with the attached patch (firmware now loads correctly, and interface comes up). However, I didn't realise that said card also has bluetooth functionality.
iwn0: could not configure bluetooth coexistence iwn0: could not configure device iwn0: cannot assign link-local address What does "coexistence" mean? Presumably this is different to attaching a bluetooth driver to the same device? (Shame Intel don't provide documentation for the WifiLinks AFAICT...) Cheers, Patrick
