Hello, im running Hardy in Presario F730US amd64 and installed ndiswrapepr following this HowTo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-cbc75fcb762da2057fa8dbe904358e4b611353c0 and also applied the Hardy bug fix and mi BCM94311 mini-pci (rev 02) works fine, but "dmesg" shows this:
[ 602.492963] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error [ 602.492972] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error [ 602.492981] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error [ 602.492990] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error [ 602.608938] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 351.126 (2006-07-29 05:54:02) [ 602.608947] b43-phy0 warning: You are using an old firmware image.

This is very serious and i need a fix in order to keep working under ubuntu, "uname -r" shows this kernel 2.6.24-17-generic The thing is that i need te machine to be robust. could it be the wireless? what is the meanning of that message ERROR PHY transmission whatever... the how to i followed was very clear and i applied it to my harware, the rev 02, i also read about a kernel patch but i don't know how to do it, i never touched the kernel.. i only follow whatever i find in forums because i'm new to linux. Before this i tried the fw-cutter to extract the firmware and it worked also, and the wireless was connected even under low signal but i had disconnections every 20 minutes.... it also hanged the computer in that nasty way.... may a problem with firefox? i installed firefox 3 but the same happened.... Please need help, i wrote on 2 or 3 threads and got no response... i can send you outputs of commands that you ask... but this machine is the only way i have to do my astronomy research. Thanks a lot. -- b43 module: bcm4311 rev 02 cannot stay connected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
