Subject: After Kernel 3.3, brcmsmac won't work on mid-2010 Mac Mini
Date: Tue, 08 May 2012 16:15:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FA9A8FE.5000102@mbari.org> (raw)
Hi,
When I updated to Linux Kernel 3.3.5 on my mid-2010 Aluminum Unibody Mac
Mini,
its built-in wireless was no longer recognized:
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224
802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Apple Computer Inc. Device [106b:0093]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
Memory at d3300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>
Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 54-70-4b-ff-ff-0c-60-33
Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
Kernel driver in use: brcmsmac
I tried kernel 3.3.0 with the same negative result.
When I reverted to 3.2.16, the chip was immediately recognized.
The driver in 3.3+ is loading the bcma module.
I've fine with running 3.2.16 for now.
Is this a known problem? A configuration error on my part?
Just let me know if you'd like me to try anything to help debug this
(possible) regression.
