Subject: b43 driver hang workaround
Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2010 20:27:00 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1264472821.2691.0.camel@fwdell4550> (raw)

Thought I'd post my workaround for the issue I've been experiencing. My
setup is as follows: Ubuntu 9.10 x86 and a BCM4318 in AP mode. Briefly,
I'd see a message in the logs about hardware encryption being disabled,
at which point my NIC would stop beaconing. Apparently turning off QoS
support remedies this problem. Putting this line into /etc/modules made
my wireless usable:


b43 qos=0


Obviously, QoS support is preferable to not, but I don't really need it
for my SOHO needs. Hopefully this will help someone else.


Eric
