Description Lukas Redynk 2012-01-24 15:19:03 UTC

After today's (Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:09:41 +0000) kernel update to version:
"3.2.1-3.fc16.x86_64" wifi card BCM4313 stopped working, card played well with brcmsmac module form 3.1.x kernel branch, but with b43 there's error at card init,
dmesg:
[  257.565882] b43-phy1: Broadcom 4313 WLAN found (core revision 24)
[  257.566039] b43-phy1 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 10, Type 8, Revision 1)
[  257.566052] b43: probe of bcma0:0 failed with error -95
[  257.566083] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMNLS ]
and there's no trace of wlan0 at all.

Comment 1 Lukas Redynk 2012-01-24 20:49:03 UTC

When I tried build from src rpm, with config-x86_64-generic I've spotted one thing: cfg80211 wasn't checked in, this maybe prevent 'brcmsmac' from being build.

Comment 2 Nir Hartmann 2012-01-25 09:59:28 UTC

Confirm bug on bcm4313 fedora 16 kernel 3.2.1

Comment 3 penthium2 2012-01-26 08:33:29 UTC

confirm bug on Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
under 3.2.1-3.fc16.i686.PAE

demsg :

[   25.527717] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4313 WLAN found (core revision 24)

bcma                   24898  1 b43


under kernel 3.1.9 it isn't the b43 module loaded but the brcmsmac, and if I try to load module brcmsmac :
rmmod b43 && modprobe brcmsmac
FATAL: Module brcmsmac not found.
