Hi,
B43 still doesn't work for me. Let me know if any additional information from
me will help.

You must be using an old tree. 'modprobe rc80211_simple' or use the
'everything' branch of a recent (last month or so) wireless-2.6.
Hth!

You need a wireless-2.6 tree including this commit:
commit ef63d02426e1f0157e049240c2be87c92e64afa1
Author: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>
Date: Mon Nov 26 10:29:47 2007 -0600
You can just grab the tree/branch John suggested, or, in case you don't
want to mess with git and a complete kernel rebuild, please see:

Yup, that's what I did. I downloaded the compat-wireless package and compiled
it. However, it seems like there's a compatibility problem with the package
modules and the default Ubuntu ones.
When I try to load rc80211_simple, it loads the ubuntu one. The compat package
doesn't build a rc80211_simple. So, if I load the ubuntu rate controller, it
loads the ubuntu mac80211, which has similar symbol problems with the b43
module.
Oh yea, I'm using the ubuntu 2.6.22 kernel. I guess I should just be patient,
wait a few more weeks for 2.6.24 and try that instead.
Errors when loading the ubuntu rc80211_simple:
[ 2245.492000] rc80211_simple: disagrees about version of symbol sta_info_put
[ 2245.492000] rc80211_simple: Unknown symbol sta_info_put

Cheers.

You shouldn't need to load the rc80211_simple module which came with
Ubuntu. I think that the compat package comes with a rate control algorithm
built into mac80211 itself, so please just try to unload the Ubuntu
mac80211 and load the compat one. For sure Luis (the compat maintainer) has
more clues on this, anyway.

Yes, that's what I did initially. (1) download latest compat-wireless archive
from the website (2) make; make install (3) make unload; make load. And the
result is what I got in the original message, i.e. b43 "failed to select rate
control algorithm".
John suggested that I modprobe rc80211_simple, which tries to load the ubuntu
rc80211 module that complains about symbol version problems. If I try loading
rc80211 before I load b43, it loads, but then b43 suffers from the symbol
problems instead.
Cheers.
