</div>Hi,<br>
I want you to try something that is somewhat different.<br>
<br>
I went over that document once more:<br>
<a href="http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-lp" target="_blank">http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-lp</a><br>
<br>
PCI table verification.<br>
That's your chip and driver:<br>
...<br>
14e4:4315 supported 2.6.33 and later (PIO mode) BCM4312 b/g LP b43<br>
...<br>
<br>
You have the required kernel ?<br>
[root@localhost jb]# uname -r<br>
<div class="im">2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686<br>
<br>
</div>Instead of following the info under Fedora, I checked Mandriva as well and<br>
discovered some similarities to your chip:<br>
...<br>
device firmware installation<br>
...<br>
Mandriva<br>
...<br>
There are different versions of firmware and tools you may need:<br>
...<br>
b43 Linux-2.6.31 and newer, compat- 4.178.10.4 .... GO<br>
wireless-2.6 package, current GIT trees -<br>
for LP-PHY cards<br>
...<br>
When you press the GO link you get to:<br>
...<br>
You are using the b43 driver with an LP-PHY card (e.g. BCM4312)<br>
...<br>
Install b43-fwcutter, then use version 4.174.64.19 of Broadcom's proprietary<br>
driver. (The tarball is mislabeled as "4.178.10.4", but it is actually<br>
4.174.64.19.)<br>
...<br>
Let's do the down load and extraction operation:<br>
wget <a href="http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2" target="_blank">http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2</a><br>
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2<br>
cd broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4/linux<br>
$ su<br>
# b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ wl_apsta.o<br>
<br>
The extraction worked for me !<br>
Well, try it and reboot now.<br>
<br>
Your dmesg should be more informative than the one you passed to us<br>
previously.<br>
