Bug#463244: solved :-)



just upgraded to linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 and it worked fine :-)

i had to down grade the firmware for it to work
since i have misunderstood the instructions that where posted there three 
weeks ago (on b43 site : http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 )
but i just saw that they change the instruction :-) so all is just fine.

i have a pcmcia Linksys WPC54G (ver.1.2) PC Card (model 4306)
 0x4320	0x1737 	0x4320

this is the messages i was getting just after the kernel upgrade:

b43-phy0 ERROR: YOUR FIRMWARE IS TOO NEW. Please downgrade your firmware.
b43-phy0 ERROR: Use this firmware tarball: 
http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2
b43-phy0 ERROR: Use this b43-fwcutter tarball: 
http://bu3sch.de/b43/fwcutter/b43-fwcutter-009.tar.bz2
b43-phy0 ERROR: Read, understand and _do_ what this message says, please.

so i downloaded the firmware and the extraction tool and installed it.

also, i am not getting the ide_cd errors (kernel panic) any more while loading 
this kernel. (i was getting them in the last 3 updates of the TRUNK versions)

so...let us close this issue :-)
