Hi,

Thanks a lot for writing a driver for Broadcom Wireless cards.
I have a BCM4321 on my laptop.

Upon loading ssb, I get the following on the console:
ssb0: <Unknown> mem 0xd0500000-0xd0503fff,0xd0000000-0xd00fffff irq 16 at
device 0.0 on pci2
ssb0: warn: multiple PCI(E) cores
ssb0: unsupportted coreid 0x817

Thereafter, upon loading bwn_v4_ucode and if_bwn, I get nothing on the
console; and the wlan interface doesn't
appear either.

Executing 'pciconfig -lv' after the above reveals the following about my
wireless card:

ssb0_at_pci0:2:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x0088106b chip=0x432814e4
rev=0x03
hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     = 'Broadcom 432AGN 802.11a/b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi Solution
(BCM4321KFBG)'
    class      = network


Could you please help with this?

Regards,
Rohit.
