Stefan, I can't say much about the wlan code in hwinfo; it was done by Joe. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Probably no supported driver. Not sure what you mean. Driver b43 supports this 4311 card well. It started working for user from Polish forum after installing firmware.

If you mean that hwinfo doesn't support b43 I think it is also not that way In case of my machine "hwinfo --wlan" detects my BCM4318 supported by b43. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If a driver does not provide such an interface hwinfo is not able to detect that device as wireless. However b43 should work fine. My guess is that b43 does not succeed in creating the wireless interface for some reason (for example missing fw) and thus hwinfo does not detect it as wireless. Rafał, could you please verify (ask in the forum) if hwinfo reports the device correctly if the wireless interface was created successfully? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
