The bcm43xx-mac80211 driver does not handle 802.11= b devices, and the > bcm43xx-softmac driver should not freeze. Which one was configured here? It may have partly been a problem of having half of softmac and half devicescape. I'm not entirely sure what udev did. I tried a patch for the Sonic Silicon that was posted and I turned off all the configuration for the softmac driver. It isn't crashing right now but 802.11 isn't working either. I may get a chance this weekend to try some things with it, and some different firmware sets. If the new bcm43xx drivers do not support 802.11b at all and never will, I missed the documentation. Someone should add that to Kconfig. --=20 Zan Lynx --=-T9xAHRaGXU5aa4okKXwV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGBC0wG8fHaOLTWwgRAjx2AKCV/CK0iBVpck/IjTXzpqEuxdykUwCeNS6N r3/AJOR7cLYuU2WHk6F+ZSU= =dMzn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-T9xAHRaGXU5aa4okKXwV--
