Hello everybody.

I'm trying to make work a bcm4318 wireless card, but with bcm43xx drivers included on kernel 2.6.22 I still find the transmission power issue and I can't get it work...
I know that with new b43 drivers bcm4318 works fine, but b43 drivers will be included only since 2.6.24 kernel version.

So I hask you, is there a way to obtain b43 as a module for 2.6.22 kernel?

You could try 2.6.23-mm1. B43 is in there.

I had a problem with mm-source (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-599867.html) and a build error
Code:
  CC [M]  drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.o
drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.c:991: error: ‘videobuf_cgmbuf’ undeclared here (not in a function)
drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.c:991: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘videobuf_cgmbuf’
make[3]: *** [drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/media/video] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/media] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


So I'll try git-sources, I saw that b43 is there too.

Ooooops...
Code:
  CC [M]  drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.o
drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.c:988: error: ‘videobuf_cgmbuf’ undeclared here (not in a function)
drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.c:988: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘videobuf_cgmbuf’

make[2]: *** [drivers/media/video] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/media] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


Same error with git-sources...
I'll disable v4l backend.

^^ Not sure if it contains anything that will help you out, but I think there's a patch for that error there.

Thank you very much.

Since yesterday evening we passed from git-sources-2.6.23-r4 to git-sources-2.6.23-r9, there is an hard work behind this kernel sources.

Those are the keys lost using my reiser4-gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8 .config file with new git-sources-2.6.23-r9.

Code:
.config:47:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol IPC_NS
.config:52:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol UTS_NS

.config:1734:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol REISER4_FS
.config:1735:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol REISER4_DEBUG
.config:1803:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol SQUASHFS


PS: I have no more reiser4 partitions on my system.

Have a look at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-600890-highlight-.html. But the network stack from .22->.23/.24 is too big for there ever to be a backport for b43.
