It is a real pain to have to create a file to see the errors. If you cannot do that, then name the attached file xxxx.txt. That way I can see it inline. > didn't work with sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter // it was downloading > on 12 that was failling... didn't investigate more.. > > wget http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-013.tar.bz2 > tar xjvf b43-fwcutter-013.tar.bz2 > cd b43-fwcutter-013/ > make > cd .. > > export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" > wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 > tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 > cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/ > sudo ../b43-fwcutter-013/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o > > see DMESG file attach for log. > > next step try it with last 2.6.35-rc4 or later... It will not help. For all the others reading this list, the error message is the old, familiar b43-phy0 ERROR: Fatal DMA error: 0x00000800, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000 b43-phy0 ERROR: This device does not support DMA on your system. It will now be switched to PIO. b43-phy0: Controller RESET (DMA error) ... If you had done any searching at all, you would have seen this error discussed many, many times. We do not yet have a fix. If you load b43 with the options "pio=1 qos=0 nohwcrypt=1" b43 will then work. No I do not know how to input those options on your system. Larry
