[12:26] <st3> mjg59, BenC, you may want to include in the ubuntu kernel my latest patch (see linux-wireless list)
[12:26] <BenC> st3: Is there a URL? I'm not on linux-wireless
[12:26] <st3> it makes bcm4309 working (we have some ubuntu users which report us bugs about this)
[12:28] <st3> just a moment
[12:29] <st3> no i can't find an archive (it's a quite new mailing list, hosted on vger)
[12:31] <st3> http://nopaste.com/p/gK/c <- here's the patch
[12:31] <st3> (tabs broken, obviously)
[12:31] <BenC> st3: Thanks
[12:31] <st3> do you want me to forward it to you via email?
[12:32] <BenC> Nah, I can extrapolate from that
[12:32] <st3> ok
[12:32] <st3> it's signed-off-by me (Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@polimi.it>) and Larry
[12:33] <st3> it should be included in 2.6.21 or in -stable right now
[12:56] <mjg59> st3: Thanks!
[01:02] <st3> np =)
[12:14] <blizz> hi there
[12:15] <blizz> i saw in several forums/mailinglists that quite a bunch of people had problems with the new bcm43xx driverbase in the 2.6.20-8 kernel (which also came with herd 4)
[12:20] <blizz> some people retrieved newer drivers from the openwrt page and extracted 4.x firmwares using fwcutter 006. sadly, the only thing which worked then was simple stuff like scanning for other wireless networks. association with a wep/wpa encrypted network never seemed to work
[12:20] <blizz> same happened here, even a hardlock occured one time when unloading the bcm43xx module
[12:22] <blizz> so, is softmac going to be back anytime soon? :P
[12:35] <st3> yes, we (the bcm43xx devs) advised BenC and mjg59 that d80211 isn't suitable for production system
[12:35] <st3> and they will revert back to softmac
[01:23] <blizz> st3, thanks for the info :-)
[01:23] <blizz> any hint when this is going to happen?
[01:23] <st3> i guess when the next kernel package is released
[01:23] <st3> dunno, ask them, i don't use ubuntu
[01:24] <blizz> okay
[01:26] <blizz> BenC || mjg59, any idea when softmac will be back? or when 2.6.20-9 will be out? ;-)
[05:39] <BenC> blizz: Today
[05:39] <BenC> well, it will get uploaded today
[05:39] <BenC> build+publish may take 12-24 hours
very niice</borat>, thanks for the info
[07:53] <mjg59> Why has someone just filled my inbox with mails telling people that their bugs don't contain enough information when they do?
[07:55] <JanC> ask someone?  :)
[09:48] <lifeless> mjg59: bughelper I think
