You can safely have both

On my system, the first line of such output for my interface is 0400. 0 Network controller Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan miniPCI rev 02. Just clone it and read the shipped documentation files. Once again, you have been warned. The HP BIOS refuses to use the card when the pcivendor is Dell code 0×1028, not HP code 0x103C. If further changes are needed, for example the PCI product ID, the command ssbsprom i new_ssb_sprom_copy o new_ssb_sprom_copy subp 0x137Cwould be used.

firmware assemblerdisassembler can be found in the git repository at git clone are more development and debugging tools available in the b43tools git repository. On my system, the first line of such output for my interface is 0400. 0 Network controller Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan miniPCI rev 02. The kernel autoloader will automatically do the right thing and load the correct driver for your device.

For systems with more than one SSBbased interface, there will be such string for each, and the command that sets the SSB_SPROM symbol will have to be changed. First, use echo SSB_SPROMto ensure that this symbol still contains the SPROM path. CompaqHP laptops where the BIOS checks these at boot. In the name above, the sequence states that this device is attached to the 0th PCI bus via bridge 0d. 0 and is device on that bridge.

To find which of your SSB devices to select, use the lspci v command. use different input and output files so as not to destroy the original. b43 should be used on all other cards. and cards with MAC core revision of or less should also use b43legacy. You are then ready to rewrite the file. Its part of b43tools git clone use the sprom tool, it is necessary to disk copy of your sprom from the sys file system. On my system, the first line of such output for my interface is 0400.

If further changes are needed, for example the PCI product ID, the command ssbsprom i ssb_sprom_copy PAs an example, let us suppose that you have purchased Dell minipci card to use in an HP laptop. For systems with more than one SSBbased interface, there will be such string for each, and the command that sets the SSB_SPROM symbol will have to be changed. The bcm43xx, b43 and b43legacy drivers use the linux wireless extensions properly and so need the wext driver.
