Hello Michael, my b43 wireless card (Dell 830) is not working with the latest net-2.6 (and also linux-2.6 2.6.31-05767-gdf58bee). net-2.6 2.6.31-03263-gc29854e is working net-2.6 2.6.31-03301-ga97e178 is broken I removed the patch with the work_queue stuff which did not help - so it's probably the other patch you added to b43 recently. Don't know ... the wlan0 link does not become ready anymore. If you need some more information - please let me know.Is this working better now, with 2.6.31-rc1?
Thanks for coming back on this. Yes it is fixed now. 'cfg80211: fix SME connect' broke it and 'cfg80211: don't overwrite privacy setting' fixed it afterwards (at least in my setup). So it's pretty well working now. Best regards, Oliver
