Description of problem: BCM43XG cards are not supported. I have a NETGEAR WN511B which is based on this chipset. The BCM43xx project claims that this chipset is supported by the default bcm43xx driver, but it is not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. n/a 2. 3. Actual results: No support. Expected results: Support. Additional info: From /usr/share/hwdata.ids: 4325 BCM43xG 802.11b/g 4329 BCM43XG The bcm43xx driver only supports devices with PCI id 4325. The card I have has a PCI id of 4329. I added the 4329 PCI id to the driver, but that gives a nice oops and the card is not recognized.
Argh, hold that last comment. It *is* recognized by the driver, but it oopses and I don't get to see a device with iwconfig and ifconfig (debugging fries braaaaaaaain).
As you discovered, 14e4:4329 is not supported by the current driver. Please attach the contents of the oops from when you added that ID to the driver. For fastest results (and depending on your skills and interestes), you may wish to pursue this youself either on netdev.org or the bcm43xx driver development mailing list, bcm43xx-dev.de.
I put it on the mailinglist. Unfortunately I do not have the card anymore. It was given to someone in the bcm43xx team.
Closing as CANTFIX, based on lack of testing access.
