I'm hit by the bug #234533. It's resolved "wont fix" "because it's a feature, not a bug" A non-enhancement bug can be filed if functionality that's assumed to work doesn't. As you can see lmb changed severity from blocker to enhancement because of this.
but
1) it's a bug only on pci-e (here mini pci, laptop), why this special hardware hve such a feature? Because it's _not_ a must that all hardware working with Window$ will automagically do that with Linux. You have to find a volunteer to do the development for this. 2) the comment on bugzilla say: the patch will be enclosed with 2.6.20 kernel. I have 2.6.22.9.0-4-default and I have still the bug The reporter said he has a patch (the mentioned URL doesn't work), but you can't espect that such a patch will be integrated in mainline kernel if kernel maintainers (outside of SUSE) are not willing to do that. 3) a web search shows that ndiswraper don't works reliably with the bcm43xx module :-(
what can I do? do i need to reopen the bug or to try using ndiswraper anyway? Try ndiswrapper. If this fails, feel free to reopen, but remember: this will remain an enhancement until mainline kernel developers say this should work.
thanks jdd Hans-Peter
