Firmware from binary drivers older than version 4.x is unsupported. You must upgrade your firmware files. b43-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2 b43-phy0 ERROR: Microcode not responding 2) In order to get rid of the message above, I am trying to force the use of bcm43xx driver. How does one force bcm43xx driver instead of b43 driver ? I already have an alias on modprobe.conf like this: alias wlan0 bcm43xx .... but the kernel still uses the b43 driver instead. Regards, John
