Hi,
I've installed from the LiveCD 2006.1 on a AMD64 zv6000 and have the ethernet port working with the with the default 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 kernel included. Next I'm wanting to get the BroadCom BCM4318 Wireless working and this is where my problems start.
I wasn't having much luck with the kernel BCM43xx driver
| Quote: | | bcm43xx: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed. |
| Quote: | | Update: Installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter tools and this message seems to have gone now....still can't connect though.. |
I've been following setup guidlines from (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Gentoo_Linux_64bit_on_HP_Pavilion_zv6000_series_notebook) so next I'm trying to use the ndiswrapper.
I had to emerge the kernel source to be able to emerge the ndiswrapper. So I built a new kernel based on r8 (thats what came down after the update) and both ifconfig and iwconfig don't list an eth0 or eth1 so now the ethernet doesn't work aswell on the r8 kernel.
I installed the driver through ndiswrapper as below and this gave no errors.
| Code: | >ndiswrapper -i netbc564.inf
>modprobe ndiswrapper |
I can't bring the link up though as there is no port using the driver, which I assume is a result of there being no eth0 or eth1. I assume this is something that I've done incorrectly with the kernel configuration, but I selected the options dictated in the above link.
Any ideas on where I start? 
Some Info that hopefully helps..

If I try and start the interface (same output from bootup)
(Eth0 is 10/100 I believe)
| Code: | >/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
* Starting eth0
SCIOSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented
SCIOSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented
* Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming DHCP
* Bringing up eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ...
Error, dhcpStart: ioctl SCIOSIFFLAGS: Function not implemented [!!]
|
or
(Eth1 is wireless I believe)
| Code: | >/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Starting eth1
* Configuration not set for eth1 - assuming DHCP
* Bringing up eth1
* dhcp
* network interface eth1 does not exist
* please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)

Okay, running with the r8 kernel...
Added the bcm43xx-fwcutter tools..
now I have,

which I think means the bcm43xx driver is installed ok.
I copied the fwcutter files to /lib/firmware.
and made sure encryption was disabled to ensure there wasn't anything funny going on there.
| Code: | >/etc/init.d/net.eth1 start

the end of dmesg..
| Code: | >dmesg
bcm43xx: Cannot register IRQ0
bcm43xx: set security called
bcm43xx: .level = 0
bcm43xx: .enabled = 0
bcm43xx: .encrypt = 0

SoftMAC: Associate: failed to initiate scan. Is device up?
setup_irq: irq handler mismatch

So......an IRQ mismatch? any advice?
