As i said in Bugzilla already: I had problems with the in-kernel driver some kernel-versions ago (like 2.6.15) and since then, i'm using the bcm4400 which worked much much better concerning details like getting an address via dhcp and such thing= s. Since yesterday, i'm now testing/using the in-kernel driver of 2.6.17.11 and as far as i can see, it works great. So hopefully no problems come up again. --------------enigEDFB21AB4A251D8C6AC19677 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE9sjp7Ww7FjRBE4ARAk+2AJwNGOgByP/36HyeFZWTJc3ePOyfeACg4h1s 9WuQJGsQXCgH9ny/BSh2W4g= =ruRT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigEDFB21AB4A251D8C6AC19677-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
