b43-wireless problem with 2.6.36.3.dmz.2 Kernel
Hello Guys,
I have a problem while compiling the b43 driver following the Debian way as below && (as usual): # Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example: # Debian Squeeze (testing) deb ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free # Update the list of available packages.

You might want to take a look at the patches available here: sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-wireless/broadcom-sta/files/
Also, the version that debian is providing is old. You might want to email the maintainer and point him to all the nice patches that Gentoo provided to make things very easy for him. The version you want to be running is 5.100.82.38, but debian is providing 5.60.48.36 :: Code :: Maintainer: Cyril Lacoux (Yack) <clacoux@easter-eggs.com>Back to top |
