Subject: ssb: 2.6.34.1 -> 2.6.34.2 regression
Date: Sat, 07 Aug 2010 00:53:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C5C9252.7040007@bu3sch.de> (raw)

Hi,

The SPROM changes applied to SSB in 2.6.34.2 completely broke SPROM
extraction. This leads to broken wireless for my BCM4306 card.
All other BCM43xx and BCM44xx most likely are affected, too.
Symptoms should be wrong MAC addresses and broken transmission (for 43xx).

The patch changed the SPEX() macro and removed the offset subtraction,
but did not remove the actual 0x1000 offset from the SPROM defines.
This results in random memory poking rather than proper SPROM data
extraction.

I applied the following to my kernel to get it working again. However
this is not a proper fix. I suggest that the -stable SSB patch
is dropped and mainline patches being applied. They seem to
be correct (However I did not test mainline, yet).
