Dear list,

I would like to test the b43 driver for a BCM4322. I tried with 2.6.38.2 and 2.6.39-rc2 but I'm stuck with a firmware error in dmesg :

[   75.922582] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode16_mimo.fw" not found
[   75.922587] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode16_mimo.fw" 
not found
[   75.922590] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website.

I have b43-fwcutter v13.

Did I miss something ? I promise I read carefully.

Sorry, I wrote this email in several times. I finally did a symlink in /lib/firmware/b43 : # sudo ln -s ucode16.fw ucode16_mimo.fw And it worked like this.

Symlink should work for now. The real solution is not use:
http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3_mipsel.tar.bz2
and the newest fwcutter (which is needed to support this 5.10.56.27.3).

I still hope to get easy access to newer broadcom-wl, so I'm waiting with updating howto on wiki page. I just mailed OpenWRT team day or two ago.

I'm not sure if those two firmware files are equivalent or not.

There is a new version of b43-fwcutter in the git repository at
git://git.bu3sch.de/b43-tools.git that knows how to extract the firmware from URL http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3_mipsel.tar.bz2.
After untarring, the object file is broadcom-wl-5.10.56.27.3/driver/wl_apsta/wl_prebuilt.o

Yes, it works properly with this one !
