Not sure about today's tarball. Except CONFIG_B43_PHY_LP was not enabled on compat-wireless. But now it is. I kicked the cronjob and enabled CONFIG_B43_PHY_LP on config.mk, please report any issues. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/ BTW I think it would be nice for those users looking only for b43 for us to update scripts/driver-select to have b43 as just one driver option. Should be easy to add but I don't have time right now. Patch is greatly welcomed though. Luis
