Tested on my BCM43224, thanks a lot! :) Acked-by: Rafał Miłecki You didn't send this directly to John, not sure if he will pick it up. Do you think this should go for 3.1? With this patch ppl will directly see interface is present and will just use it or see error about firmware in dmesg. Without the patch, person just have to know b43 is supposed to support his card. Maybe you just could use "bcma: " prefix :) -- Rafał
