I cannot send you test results yet. It looks like I have to read some more documentation first. For now I can only tell you this: a) Test on a PC with a Broadcom 4306 rev 03: - Downloaded and installed the firmware. - The module b43legacy loads without errors, but nothing else happens. ifconfig doesn't show any new interface, like eth0 or wlan0. # modprobe b43legacy => messages: Mar 5 23:14:02 af-nb-3 kernel: [10519.728000] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PID, Firmware-ID: FW10 ] => dmesg: [10519.728000] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PID, Firmware-ID: FW10 ] Maybe this is important: dmesg says "Firmware-ID: FW10", but there is no ucode10.fw in /lib/firmware/b43legacy, only 2, 4, 5, 11 (downloaded today, as described in the wiki). # lsmod | grep 43 b43legacy 102040 0 ssb 36484 1 b43legacy mac80211 220020 1 b43legacy # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

RaLink rt2500 You wrote "For now I'll disable rt2x00 in compat-wireless." So, the result of this test seems to be unimportant (it tried to load the old driver). If you would like to see the output of any test, that I can do for you, just let me know. Greetings, Franz
