Bug#718676: linux-image-3.9-1-686-pae: b43 driver does not find my wifi access point
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.9.8-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
With kernel 3.9 the b43 driver does not find my wifi AP but with kernel 3.2.0-4-686-pae
all is working well.
I am unable to fill the reportbug under kernel 3.9 because with this kernel I have no network.
To obtain the firmware I use firmware-b43-installer 1:017-2. I made a dpkg-reconfigure of
this package but with no result on the problem.
My wifi interface is :
