Well hello there. I got a dell studio 1555 myself with a dell wireless 1397 (broacom 4312 rev1). I got huuuuge problems with this card. As you can see in this thread I opened in debian-laptop [1] I was using the proprietary driver provided by the package broadcom-sta-source fetched from non-free testing. After an upgrade in that package I lost the eth1 interface (which was the wifi). After kernel 2.6.32 came into testing I thougth of trying the b43 driver as of this kernel version my card is supported. To tell you the truth I didn't see better results and I was about to post again. Well I'll tell you what's my problem with b43 driver (of course I got b43-fwcutter installed from testing ;) ). When using the b43 driver the wifi connection will stop working and the interface (named correctly wifi0 this time) disappeares. When I shutdown or restart I get a fatal error from the b43 driver and that network manager lost connection with DMA and device phy0 (which is listed as a process in system monitor. Shall I suppose phy0 refers to the wifi card??). Well first time I got this I got paniced. The wifi couldn't be recongnized even under windows. In order to see the device again I had to remove the battery AND the AC power. Well I got through this thing many times today morning, but fortunately after that it stopped and I could work on my laptop. The problem though is not gone, if i suspend or something there it will be. :) Sorry for the long post. I think I should fully explain my problem in order to get better feedback. In any case I am using testing packages with the 2.6.32 kernel recently migrated. Thank you all. And hope the tip with the AC and battery will be usefull to you Mark :) [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/2010/01/msg00056.html J -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
