Strange how those 2 things are related ??) Then I tried the patch solution provided by http://twibble.org/dist/bcm4400/ No better result ! I used gcc 3.2.2 I got an other feed back from somebody who installed the 2.4.22, with the b44 driver and who get a failure on bringing up the network at boot time but ..... network is strangely working correctly ! I don't know where to find more logs on this specific problem, if you need some more info, contact me Marc Kalberer marc.kalberer@programmers.ch
