I checked the wcpufreq in LHP 64 which uses 3.0.4 kernel. Tazoc has fixed the script simply with "||" the two location choices of drivers. Here is fixed wcpufreq pet. There is still one bug in script. The script does not rule out non needed drivers where there is choosable dropdown box for performance, powersave...etc.

The firmware is there - it's now in /lib/firmware/b43 - Barry took the decision to stop putting compressed firmware into /lib/modules/all-firmware and instead ship with all the firmware already uncompressed into /lib/firmware.


Hmm..., b43 is the only common firmware between /lib/firmware and /lib/modules/all-firmware. How come?
Is the /lib/firmware version for this kernel? and if it is does the kernel "knows" it? (Mick?)

In any case, this firmware is not working in my iMac.
"ls -l /dev/.udev/firmware-missing/" says
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 68 2012-01-23 19:53 b43-open\x2fucode16_mimo.fw -> /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:04:00.0/ssb0:0/firmware/ssb0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 68 2012-01-23 19:53 b43\x2fn0initvals16.fw -> /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.0/0000:04:00.0/ssb0:0/firmware/ssb0:0

and indeed initvals16.fw is not present in /lib/firmware/b43. Though ucode16_mimo.fw, is.

peebee, does your wifi works after you modprobe b43?
Is there anything in /dev/.udev/firmware-missing/ after you modprobe b43?
What about the output of the "for x in $(udevadm trigger --dry-run --verbose); do udevadm info --query=all --path=$x; done" command mentioned before?


The Broadcom firmware is proprietary and therefore independent of kernel version. I'd say mavrothal that your issue is slightly different to peebee's with the ucode16_mimo.fw not loading. Perhaps too that the firmware is expected to be compressed???

The initvals16.fw looks like some weird mac dependency for b43, and I can't find it! You may be able to find it and extract it on your OSX system. If you get that to load then maybe ucode16_mimo.fw will load with it? Confused

I have attached the compressed firmware which works with wuxiandianzi's lupu variant with k3.1.8 .. includes b43.tar.gz and b43legacy.tar.gz

Did I say this is a pain?...
The pet does not work compressed or extracted.
I compiled b43-fwcutter and extracted the firmware from broadcom-wl-5.100.138 and now is telling me the firmware is too new Shocked and ifconfig still gives me "ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not supported"
I think I'll stay with puppies running in the VM in the Mac (at least for today Very Happy )

Tried current version on a Compaq Armada M700
P3 450 with 320mb RAM. Will not boot. First tried a manual frugal install (ISO checksum was fine, before anyone asks..), then downloaded again and burnt a CD, but no joy. Kernel and initrd are found, but then it hangs with just a flashing cursor, no error messages.
Previous version booted ok.
Tried the CD on the desktop PC - ECS 755-A motherboard (Socket 754) with a Mobile Athlon XP-M 2800 CPU and a GeForce FX5200 graphics card. Got to desktop ok, but the crappy Goodmans LD1930W monitor (its really a telly) is hopeless at its supposed native resolution of 1440×900 - very flickery and fuzzy (that's with XP as well), and is only usable at 1024x768. Anyway, got to desktop, and menu items were all blank. Did ctrl+alt+backspace to exit X and run xorgwizard to change the resolution. Text was wider than the screen, but managed to run it. Couldn't get back to a desktop with Xorg. Tried Xvesa, but the desktop was black with just a hint of taskbar and no mouse - had to reboot. I don't use this PC for Puppy much, but wanted to check the CD was ok.

Thanks for testing Keef,

k3.1.10 (BFS patched) seems UTS on old gear. I tried my Athlon but I think the mobo is kaput as I can't boot anything! I'll give it a good clean and see what happens. If you get time it would be interesting to see how k3.1.9 slacko-5.3.1.2-SCSI.iso works on your kit. James C reported success on his PIII 766Mhz coppermine and his Athlon machines. It doesn't have the BFS patch which I think is what screwed up k3.1.10.

8058773fcdce248d3958feb8a4e60cb8
Note is has unfixed bugs but is mostly working ok.

Mavrothal,
My wifes macbook uses brmsmac driver.. I wonder if yours would work with it? You could unload b43 (no, it didn't load did it?) and try it. Wifey's was loaded ootb though, or maybe I'll compile wl.

ha! I know I said I'll revert to k2.6.39.4 but this b43 crap is getting the better of me! Might try again with k3.1.9, or recompile 3.1.10 W/O BFS. I'd try 3.2.1 but it fails to compile against aufs., patches ok but get a make error.

Hmmm... got this new pretty little pink box that pops up (first thing on the desktop) that says... ERROR: Your module doesn't work. Run "sensors-detect"

I did what it asked but no new modules were found for it to config. ?

Also got this with the last two versions of EXPRIMO.

Never seen this turkey before???

ALL b43 (broadcom wireless) users, I need reports. ON FAILURE I need kernel logs from a pfix=ram before you load up b43!
    /tmp/udevtrace.log,
    /var/log/messages
    /lib/modules/3.1.9-slacko_4g/modules.alias
    device ID (run lspci -nn|grep -iE wireless)
    output from lsmod
_______________________________________________________


Ok, let's see if this is ok:

The lappy is a HP Mini 2140 2gb RAM 160Gb hdd booting this shiny new Slacko from a usb stick.

The b43 module loads - not first off - have to load the module in the network wizard - and an new interface wlan0 shows up. However, it looks like the interface wont wake up. The wireless is turned on and off with a toggle switch on the front - slide to turn on, slide again to turn off. I can't tell what state the switch is in. In Windows the status light changes from orange to blue.

Hope this helps. I like the look of this pup thank you!. Using it on this ols Toshiba A200 no probs.

I had same thing when I booted 5.3.1.3.
Found culprit to be in startup menu, item is tempicon.sh which starts the cpu temp in tray on some BUT not all machines. Mine is one of those where tempicon does not work nor does cpu-temp. Something to do with my hardware.

I simply deleted tempicon.sh in startup menu and the pretty little box went bye bye.

Assembled another box out of spare parts, so Slacko 5.3.1.2 (k-3.19) live pfix=ram.Display,sound and internet all working and correct on initial boot.
Tried Lucid and Exprimo first....both booted to a distorted,unusable display using "nv".No problem with "nouveau" though.
