Hello,
I get the following error messages about every minute on the console:
bcm43xx: PHY connected
bcm43xx: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed
bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-2)
The HW is:
Apple PowerBook G4 12" (PowerBook 6,8) 1,5 GHz
Airport Extreme, Firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)
What do I have to do to solve the error?
I have no idea. My WAG is that you don't have the non-free section in your sources.list, so you weren't able to download the proprietary data needed for one of your devices.
What can I do to stop those error messages showing up every minute until the error is solved?
Depending upon the logging level for that message, "dmesg -n4" might stop them from coming to the console. Read "man dmesg". The "setterm" command can also stop those messages (man setterm).
Any hint is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
G. Heinrich
I hope I helped at least a little. You're welcome.
