I turned on RFKILL, rebuilt the kernel, but it still failing.
Relevant part of dmesg:
IgorDellGentoo igor # dmesg | grep b43
[ 1.401625] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15)
[ 1.419227] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 6, Type 5
(LP), Revision 1)
[ 1.420925] b43: probe of ssb0:0 failed with error -95
What is "error -95"? Maybe this is what prevents it from working?
Also, which firmware do you use? I have:
[code]
IgorDellGentoo igor # emerge -pv b43-firmware
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ~] sys-firmware/b43-firmware-6.30.163.46:b43 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
* IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.
[/code]
Maybe I have wrong firmware?
Thank you.
