[arch-ports] airport problem with kernel 2.6.22
hi, I update my system from kernel 2.6.21 to 2.6.22 and other package...
after rebooting, my net wireless is down.... I dont find eth1 (wireless device) (module are loaded: airport and bcm43xx)
0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
can you help me ?

First of, you should know that arch-ppc now has its own bugtracker. You should submit this here: http://bugs.archlinuxppc.org/ When you submit that bug, be sure to include some more information:
# dmesg -c # Clear the kernel message buffer. # rmmod bcm43xx # modprobe bcm43xx # reload the module # dmesg
Paste the information from the second dmesg command into your bug report.
Cheers, Matt Cox

I dont know if this is a bug or I am misconfigured something....
- if I delete dmesg log, remove and reload bcm43xx module I have: bcm43xx driver
- if I remove and reload airport module I have: airport 0.15 (Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh@kernel.crashing.org)

airport is a driver for the old airport (802.11b) cards. bcm43xx is a driver for the airport extreme (802.11b/g). You only need one. In your case, you want the bcm43xx module, and don't need airport. We can tell from your first message:
0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
I don't think that having both modules loaded concurrently would cause your problem. THe airport module is simply redundant.

I solved, inexplicabily, only installing wlassistant and configure it....
thank you
