Hi,<br>
<br>
The recent OpenWrt release, along with the recent b43 work on the LP<br>
PHY, inspired me to dig up my Asus 520gu and see what it could do.</blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
OpenWrt has the radio disabled out of the box. When I enable it, the<br>
system seems to hang. I say seems, since I don't have serial access -<br>
all I know is that my telnet connection dies / freezes, and I can't log<br>
in again. All I can do is reflash.<br>

</blockquote></div><br><br>I too have been looking the latest Openwrt release and the b43 driver<br>
and I too was hoping that support for the broadcom 5354 was included<br>
I have a console on my router so I can see what is going on<br>
<br>
When the wireless is enabled the b43 driver "appears" to eat all memory and I get OOM (Out Of Memory) errors<br>
This has been reported on the Openwrt Trac site<br>

<br>
I have yet to confirm if it is the b43 driver, mac80211, or other component<br>
When I test on other broadcom chipssets that are not "5354" I have no real issues<br>
So the most likely culprit is the LP-PHY in the b43 driver, but this is yet to be confirmed.<br>
<br>I have tested with a 2.6.33.2 kernel and the latest wireless compat<br><br>
I have also only tested in AP mode. I have not tried AH or STA .. yet<br>
<br>
