@wl_cfg80211_attach errors

Hi guys! Can you please help-me? I've got this issue while my laptop is starting the OS:

$ dmesg | grep cfg80211
[    4.464088] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
[    4.613642] INFO @wl_cfg80211_attach : Registered CFG80211 phy
[   26.610642] INFO @__wl_cfg80211_scan : system busy : scan for "" canceled

Hod do I fix this?

There is some useful information below:

$ uname -a
Linux archbox 3.1.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 22 08:46:42 UTC 2011 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

$ lspci | grep -i net

Your error doesn't tell me much, so I'm just guessing here, but did you install the firmware for your card (package b43-firmware in AUR)?

If you have, and it still doesn't work, post the full dmesg output.

Yes, I installed broadcom-wl 5.100.82.112-2 driver in AUR.

This is my dmesg output: http://pastie.org/2921739

I have a similar output. But it's not a warning nor an error, just information.

That's not what I meant. Your card works with the b43 driver. But it requires firmware for that. Which you get by installing the b43-firmware package.

broadcom-wl works too with your card, but it's a closed driver so you're on your own if you use it.

Erm, wait, do you actually have a problem with your card not working? Or is it just that message that you're curious about?

My card is working, but I already have this failure message on the system start.
This status is fail. I'd like to know why.
