 Posted: Tue Aug 18, 2009 9:06 pm Post subject: Problems with Broadcom BCM5787M [SOLVED] |
 |
|
[topic=solved]
The problem here was that it was loading b43-pci-bridge before it could load ndiswrapper.
b43-pci-bridge was provided by ssb module and ssb was required by ohci_hcd which is also used for usb.
So just blacklisting ohci_hcd was out of question.
to solve this I added in /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf:
| Code: |
install ndiswrapper modprobe -r ohci_hcd ssb; modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper $CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe ohci_hcd

I am having allot of problems with the wireless on my laptop.
I know the standard b43 does not support this card - so I want to try ndiswrapper or broadcom-sta.
Problem is though, b43-pci-bridge is compiled into kernel (I have no idea how to get it out - see below) and the card seems set on using this for the driver. So I cant get ndis driver to load for it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Searching for B43_PCI_BRIDGE in menuconfig:
| Code: |
│ Symbol: SSB_B43_PCI_BRIDGE [=y] │
│ Selected by: B43_PCI_AUTOSELECT && NETDEVICES && !S390 && B43 && SSB_PCIHOST_POSSIBLE || B43LEGACY_PCI_ │
│ │
│ │
│ Symbol: B43_PCI_AUTOSELECT [=y] │
│ Selects: SSB_PCIHOST && SSB_B43_PCI_BRIDGE │

check and see if you have Sonics Silicon Backplane included in your kernel
| Code: | | grep CONFIG_SSB /usr/src/linux/.config |
Need to go in and enable 'er, as a module ideally
as far as wireless drivers go, just as a general rule, go with modules rather than built-in
