Mark this isn't a good test. It only says that your config doesn't |
30 |
contain references to b43. |

32 |
If you do "make menuconfig" and then search for b43 (type slash to reach |
33 |
the search functionality) many entries will show up: I count 23 hits in |
34 |
2.6.39-gentoo-r1 kernel. |

Grant: you say that the requirements are satisfied, yet I see "MAC80211 |
37 |
[=n]", could be it? Same way as above to see where the option you lack |
38 |
can be activated |
