Does 2.6.23 (or any earlier kernel) work?

The powerbook runs Linux since 2.6.12. The config is generated
always by make oldconfig and checking new options for meaningful
use. If I have time, I test rc versions.

Thanks for cooperation :)

There is a lot to do, but it seems to be a big, big code change in
that version. This impressed me by looking at the git changes and
the size of patches. And the rc's don't seem to be frozend versions.
A lot of new code comes in....
Let me know whether a complete dmesg is needed.

Thanks

[FWIW, my powerbook worked with -rc1]

Those error messages are unrelated. My b43 works fine, even with a
multi-MAC patch.

This has been fixed.

What is the problem? Why is this on wireless? It'd help if you'd make
one message per problem and post it to the correct mailing lists.
