I think the driver supports your LP PHY device. After cvsup please try to rebuild siba_bwn and bwn modules. Could you please test with it? Please let me know and send me your full dmesg when you encounters the following problems: - if the driver doesn't work or is unstable. - if it prints debugging or verbose messages. regards, Weongyo Jeong
