 |

Hello world!
I'm trying to run Gentoo on a new Macbook Proc 13" and I get troubles to get the wireless card recognized.
I followed this docs:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Broadcom_43xx
But the card don't care about the module...
| Code: |
kopf ~ # modprobe b43
kopf ~ # lspci -vnn -d 14e4:4331 -k

I use Genkernel, here the last config generated: http://pastebin.ca/2252752
I'm that it can work, but I don't found what I have missed, if someone have an idea  |

I don't have your NIC, but as I read the info available it is not 80211n capable and uses ssb bus not bcma and uses the ht-phy not N or lp.
If you follow this but still no luck check dmesg for clues.
