Bug#597034: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: broadcom-sta wireless driver fails to detect interface after upgrade
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-22
Severity: normal
After upgrading to 2.6.32-22, the "wl.ko" driver from broadcom-sta package
fails to detect my Broadcom BCM43224 wireless interface, i.e. no entry
appears in "iwconfig" result.
My device:
# lspci | grep -i network
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
(Normally, eth1 should be found with wireless extension here.)
Rebuilding the broadcom-sta module with module-assistant doesn't help.
Downgrading to 2.6.32-21 does make it work again.
