Hi,

I have a Livebox 1 router with a custom Redboot on which I was running a Backfire 10.03.1 image from here. Everything was working fine, including the miniPCI wireless card (BCM4318). For instance, when I run:

cat /proc/bus/pci/devices

I got the info about the miniPCI card inserted.

Now, for a project I am working on, I tried to compile Attitude 12.09 for this board, but I couldn't get to make the miniPCI slot work. In the configuration process added the b43 drivers for the wireless card, and also the ath9k for another card I have, but there's no way to see them in /proc/bus/pci/devices. The kmod-bcma was selected too.

In the kernel configuration I made sure that "Support for PCI controller" was selected in "Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA...", and later I also tried enabling "Device drivers ---> Broadcom specific AMBA ---> BCMA Support". The result is that no miniPCI card is detected at all.

What can I do to make the miniPCI slot work? If it worked in 10.03.1... it should be working with 12.09. Shouldn't it? Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you very much!

As danitool has reported:

creo que ya he detectado el problema: linea 210 del archivo
I think I've detected the problem: line 210 in file
build_dir/linux-brcm63xx/linux-3.3.8/arch/mips/bcm63xx/boards/board_livebox.c

Falta poner encima
This is missing

bcm63xx_pci_enabled = 1;

Quedando esa sección algo tal que así
Leading to something like this

#ifdef CONFIG_PCI
if (board.has_pci) {
bcm63xx_pci_enabled = 1;
if (BCMCPU_IS_6348())
val |= GPIO_MODE_6348_G2_PCI;
}
#endif

Now the miniPCI slot is working. We will post a patch soon.
