b43 / LCN PHY

[Christopher Horler]

Hi All,

I enabled the (broken) LCN PHY support.  I understand it's broken, I'm
not expecting it to work... at least not yet!

Is anyone looking at this?

Are there any obvious major blocking issues (so as to avoid unnecessary effort)?

Chris

After activating allhwsupport=1,  perhaps as expected the wireless doesn't work.

On boot, the code is logging the following message (full dmesg output
is attached)
[   23.058777] b43-phy0 ERROR: SW ctl table is unknown for this card

This seems to be generated on examination of board flags, is there any
way to read /interrogate the current board flags from sysfs or
debugfs?  (or do I need some printk's?)

The kernel log reports a Broadcom Bluetooth adapter showing up on the
USB bus, this is also on-board (perhaps the same module?)
