Hi there,
I've got here a recent 13" MacBook Pro (8,1), running Ubuntu on it
(natty). The wireless device seems to be currently unsupported by the
b43 driver (as of kernel 2.6.38). It seems to be a bcm4331, lspci -vn
gives the following:
03:00.0 0280: 14e4:4331 (rev 02)
Subsystem: 106b:00d6
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
Memory at a0600000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>
Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 83-0e-47-ff-ff-36-e0-f8
Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
To my current knowledge, the only way to get it working is by means of
ndiswrapper. Are there any plans already to get this device supported
natively? Please let me know if you need further information regarding
the device.
Thanks,
Chris
