Bug#833876: same as #833355, and is important
Hi,
This problem report is, effectively, the same as #833355. My laptop
cannot make network connections with the current firmware versions. I
was able to fix it by manually downloading and installing the new
firmware.
Please update the package, this is a big problem. I've been yelling at
the hotel staff here for days because "their internet doesn't work"
when, in fact, it was my out-of-date Debian firmware package.
BTW, the symptom of the bad firmware is a sequence like this repeated
over and over in the system log
