Ok, bad news...

After trying bcm43xx for a while I 'svn up'ed the driver to revision 808
and also upgraded wireless-tools to version 27+28pre11 and
softmac...damn!

Softmac gave compilation errors that I managed to solve, but don't know
if this made the code not to work properly...

I can ifup eth1 with a static ip-address, but can't reach the router:

pbook-acb:# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.62.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0
eth1
0.0.0.0         192.168.62.1    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0
eth1
pbook-acb:# telnet 192.168.62.1
Trying 192.168.62.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host

I downgraded wireless-tools to 27+28pre10 without luck.

So it must be (I think) something related to the upgrade in the code of
bcm43xx and/or softmac.

Has anyone observed this.
