I think you would see more "bcm43xx" lines if the driver worked properly. > lsmod; > bcm43xx 408640 0 > firmware_class 10048 1 bcm43xx > ieee80211softmac 27456 1 bcm43xx > ieee80211 30664 2 bcm43xx,ieee80211softmac > ieee80211_crypt 6272 1 ieee80211 > > udev-monitor; > sinan:/sys/class/net# udevmonitor > udevmonitor prints the received event from the kernel [UEVENT] > and the event which udev sends out after rule processing [UDEV] > > UEVENT[1193788238.883126] add@/module/ieee80211_crypt > UDEV [1193788238.884073] add@/module/ieee80211_crypt > UEVENT[1193788238.886112] add@/module/ieee80211 > UDEV [1193788238.887048] add@/module/ieee80211 > UEVENT[1193788238.888978] add@/module/ieee80211softmac > UDEV [1193788238.889910] add@/module/ieee80211softmac > UEVENT[1193788238.891280] add@/module/firmware_class > UEVENT[1193788238.894374] add@/module/bcm43xx > UEVENT[1193788238.906811] add@/bus/pci/drivers/bcm43xx > UDEV [1193788238.907735] add@/module/firmware_class > UDEV [1193788238.908371] add@/module/bcm43xx > UDEV [1193788238.908935] add@/bus/pci/drivers/bcm43xx > > kernel is 2.6.18-5-k7 > > what can i try from here,i dont want to use ndiwrapper. A backported 2.6.22 kernel for Etch is available from www.backports.org. The git history of the kernel lists a "Fix for 4311" which was committed on 2007-02-14 (2.6.18 was released on 2006-09-19): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=740ac4fb08866d702be90f167665d03759bd27d0 Maybe you will have more success with the newer kernel. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
