b43-pci-bridge blocking ndiswrapper
« on: April 08, 2009, 03:10:44 AM »
i've been trying to get my BCM4306 Wireless PCMCIA card to work with tiny, with no luck..

b43-pci-bridge keeps blocking ndiswrapper:
Code: [Select]
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Belkin Belkin F5D7010 54g Wireless Network card [1799:7010]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
Memory at 14000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge

i've tried:
Code: [Select]
rmmod ohci_hcd
rmmod ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
modprobe ohci_hcd
that people suggested on ubuntuforums, but it doesn't help.. and rmmod b43_pci_bridge doesn't work since its not compiled as a module

I've tried compiling my own kernel but i cant get rid of b43_pci_bridge because I think its a dependency to something, this is from config-2.6.26-tinycore:
Code: [Select]
#
# Sonics Silicon Backplane
#
CONFIG_SSB_POSSIBLE=y
CONFIG_SSB=y
CONFIG_SSB_SPROM=y
CONFIG_SSB_PCIHOST_POSSIBLE=y
CONFIG_SSB_PCIHOST=y
CONFIG_SSB_B43_PCI_BRIDGE=y
# CONFIG_SSB_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_SSB_DRIVER_PCICORE_POSSIBLE=y
CONFIG_SSB_DRIVER_PCICORE=y

the card works with ndiswrapper on ubuntu with the 2.6.28 kernel, but not with b43/b43legacy

any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
