Yes, last update from the mercurial repository corrected the
compile-time errors in softmac.

Mine identifies eth1 as wireless-capable (sorry, don't know how to
express this) as I can assign essid, channel, I can see the MAC of my
access-point, etc...

Yes, same thing here.

I managed to send a message to the list using bcm43xx on monday, that
was my first and last success try :)
So to sum up, I can load bcm43xx, it identifies eth1 as a wireless
device, I can assign it my essid/channel and a static ip-address, but
can't reach my router anymore (no ping, http, ssh, telnet, etc... I
always get a 'no route to host').
Any ideas?
