B43 problems

B43 problems

[Shawn Tan]

Hi,

I've just successfully downloaded compat-wireless, compiled and loaded the 
latest B43 module. I can do iwlist scan and get an IP from my router. I can 
ping my router. However, the connection only lasts for a few seconds. Then, I 
need to re-associate again.

dmesg regularlly shows this message:
[882193.464000] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error
[882207.008000] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error
[882207.008000] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error

and, a few times, I get disassociated with the router:
[881898.392000] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error
[881923.416000] wlan0: deauthenticate(reason=3)
[881924.508000] rx BA session requested to stop on inactive tid 0

cheers.

Hi,

Following my previous email, I changed some settings on my OpenWRT router and 
it seems to work flawlessly now. The error messages are all gone!!

I had to disable the "G-mode protection" in my router. Hope this information 
helps.

Thanks for the great job in bringing broadcom support to Linux!

cheers.
