</I>>>>>>><i> can you provide either "lspcidrake -v" or "lspci -vnn" for that device
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> # lspcidrake -v |grep Broadcom
</I>>>>>><i> wl : Broadcom Corporation | BCN4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [NETWORK_OTHER]
</I>>>>>><i> (vendor:14e4 device:4315 subv:14e4 subd:04b5) (rev 1)
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>>><i> That's it
</I>>>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i> Thanks. that shows the subvendor/device ids.
</I>>>>><i> The 4312 ones are problematic iirc...
</I>>>>><i>
</I>>>>><i> Now for some tests...
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> In which mode do you want me to do that ?
</I>>>><i> - live mode
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> This wont work as you need to reboot to make sure the hw is in "good
</I>>><i> state" , wich will make the "uninstall part" useless.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Ok, that was clear.
</I>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>>><i> - installed without net access (through additional cable)
</I>>>><i> - installed with net access (through additional cable) ?
</I>>><i> you dont need cable access for the first part (1-4) but need
</I>>><i> cable access (or beta1 install dvd) for second part (5-8)
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> after configuration step you obviously need to disconnect the
</I>>><i> cable to verify that it works with wireless.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> And you dont need to do a new install to test this,
</I>>><i> a current installed/updated cauldron system should be enough.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Ah, I need to do a new because I only have one system with this device
</I>><i> :( So I just start from fresh,
</I>><i> - first with non-free disabled and reboot,
</I>><i> - then non-free enabled with reboot
</I>><i>
</I>
Hm, is that system running mga2 ?
I wonder if I should create 2 test livecds to ease testing
right now, one without broadcom-wl, and the other
with broadcom-wl and in-kernel drivers blacklisted...
