ive used linuxmint 12 and 11 .. havent tested 14

[soccermadman]

I am using 10.04 LTS and running these commands. I got the GIT pulled down and now I run:
SSB_SPROM=$(find /sys/devices -name ssb_sprom)
and it returns nothing when I echo $SSB_SPROM

I've tried rebooting and re-running the mod probe, etc. The card I have is an HP and it works in Windows and Linux and is an 4322. I have a Dell XPS 13 that I am trying to set this up on.

Thanks!

likely u need to add grep and bridge number to find it.. i found this info in the ssbprom documentation not here.

LatinMcg, thanks for the reply. Is this my problem (see below, it is using WL) the output is from lspci -v. I found the corresponding device in my system but there is no ssb_sprom object in the folder -- I suspect that may be due to the fact that I am modprobing b43 and it is using wl. Am I out of my tree here?

problem resolved  ebay AR5B91 or AR5B91-X .. i think the X is for extra features/speed
any model works. even the 1/2 size, best of all  they are cheap wireless draft N
they cant be rebranded but can be changed region to 00
