Trouble with bcm4312 rev 01 on the HP 2133

Trouble with bcm4312 rev 01 on the HP 2133

[Ben Greear]

I'm trying kernel 2.6.27.4-79.fc10 (Fedora 10 preview) on an HP 2133 
mini-note system.

I *believe* I extracted the firmware properly, but when I load b43, I 
get only a single
line in /var/log/messages, like it doesn't find the hardware or 
something?  Will there be
any obvious errors I could check for to see if the firmware is correct?

Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]


According to lspci, I have this wifi NIC:

Note that your device most likely is an LP-PHY based device, which is
not supported at all. But you will notice that. It will complain about
about unsupported PHY after you applied that patch.
