bcm43xx problem



Hi,

i have updated Etch installed, Dell inspiron 1501 laptop, which has broadcom
wireless chip on it. i followed the every instruction step by step on
http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/ . since i have an supported chip (4311 rev1)
according to the list on bcm43xx homepage, i installed the
bcm43xx-fwcutter, run it and get the needed *.fw files under
/lib/firmware, but udev couldnt create device file for my
wireless ethernet. here is the commands i typed and results.
