Bug#589122: "b43-phy0: Controller RESET (DMA error)" with BCM4312 and b43 driver
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-15
Severity: normal
I have installed the firmware appropriate for my card using debian's package:
firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
And following the instructions here:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#bug_reporting
....and here: http://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx#b43
But my card seems to not work, despite being supported.
Here is the relevant info:

If this is a known issue I would appreciate any pointers. Is this
something that is fixed in a newer kernel release? And if so is there
a workaround that I haven't been able to find? I've had a terrible
time trying to get to the bottom of this and any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon
