Maybe you could try to unload it ("modprobe -rv b43") and then reload it. If that does not lead to any meaningful messages in the syslog or the dmesg output then I really don't know how to proceed. Looking at the source code, it seems that there should be a message about loading the firmware for both success and failure.
Sorry, I had not unloaded the module. Here it is: # modprobe -rv b43 rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/ssb/ssb.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/net/rfkill/rfkill.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/base/firmware_class.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/leds/led-class.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/input/input-polldev.ko rmmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.ko ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # modprobe -v b43 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/input/input-polldev.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/leds/led-class.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/base/firmware_class.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/net/rfkill/rfkill.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/ssb/ssb.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko localhost:/home/benutzer# --------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you sure that your custom kernel is OK?
After there is NOW a Debian kernel version 2.6.24 with these modules built in, did I install the Debian "linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64", which is running since.
NO, nothing has been added by several runs of "udevtrigger" with and without options, whereas I am not sure, how to give the --attr-match option correctly and if --action="add". And after deleting the persistent-net.rules file again, it was regenerated with only the wired ethernet (eth0) only.So /sbin/ifconfig still only shows one network interface (and lo)? What happens if you run "udevtrigger" with the module loaded, do you get any new entries in the persistent-net-rules file?
