I upgraded to 2.6.24-rc6 last night and I don't see this issue anymore. One might think that the clean remake solved the problem (which I am pretty sure I did with rc5 as well); but still does not explain with 2.6.24-rc5, the module would not load on first attempt but then load after the manual: # rmmod ssb;modprobe b43 Best regards, Shourya -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
