Hello.Actually I did. I just noticed that the very first time I ty modprobe, I getbcm43xx: no version for "ieee80211softmac_wx_set_rate" found: kernel tainted.bcm43xx: Unknown symbol udelay (and only the second line appears again if I re-try)So, I guess I'm missing something when I build the driver

Does domeonehave any idea?
