The problem is with enabling the bcm43xx wifi driver and the b44 Ethernet driver. The ethernet driver then wrongly autosolects some config options that prevent the bcm43xx driver from loading, so I'm left with either no wifi or no ethenet. > Ingo > > > -- > 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/ > -- 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/
