This is somewhere in my mail, but it got a bit messy after I noticed that after changing some of the code my modules got installed in another directory (-dirty). I just restarted the notebook, but now the results are different again... New firmware, with patches applied and default channel 7: [ 72.160057] b43-phy1: Loading firmware version 478.104 (2008-07-01 00:50:23) [ 72.163484] b43-phy1 debug: RC calib: Failed to switch to channel 7, error = -5 [ 72.168100] b43-phy1 debug: Switch to init channel failed, error = -5. Recompile module with default chan 1, patches still applied and new firmware, # modprobe -r b43 && modprobe b43 verbose=3 && ifconfig wlan0 up [ 430.259877] b43-phy2 debug: Switch to init channel failed, error = -5. Recompile again, but with default chan back to 7, still patched and still new firmware. So same as in first situation: # modprobe -r b43 && modprobe b43 verbose=3 && ifconfig wlan0 up [ 524.748062] b43-phy3 debug: Chip initialized And I can get my interface up and working! Without this procedure I have not been able to get a working chip. Seems the partially initialized state after each try, allows the next try to get a bit further. And together with the default channel switching between 1 and 7, I get a working chip, but a chip that does not seem to be able to find my AP thats on channel 1. If I now change default chan to 1 again, I am getting the same error as in step 2 above. I have not been able to get the interface up with default chan set to 1. Mark
