Package: firmware-brcm80211
Version: 0.43+rpi5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading my RPi3 from 'jessie' to the actual stable, the wlan
module could not initialize anymore.

Well first I filed a bug agains the BRCM driver in kernel 4.9.35-v7+ as
I belived this was a problem of said driver with the actual firmware.

As this problem massively bothered me, I went on an installed a fresh
'actual' Raspbian on a separate SD card and bootet. WLAN works fine, so
not a hardware issue.

But I noted that Raspbian uses 'jessie' as release tag and changed this
to stable, as I want to stay with stable.

Did a dist-upgrade.

And again, the WLAN device was gone.

I investigated further into the problem and noticed, the MD5 sums of
the files in /lib/firmware/brcm had changed.

I did a downgrade to firmware-brcm80211=0.43+rpi5 and the WLAN device
is back.

My search on google, revealed that a lot of other RPi 3 users run into
that problem and apparently I am the first to figure out the cause.

So I suggest that the firmware-brcm80211=20161130-3 in the raspbian
repository should be checked and made sure the correct firmware version
for the 'stable' kernel ins included.

Since you're using Raspbian, you should report this to that project,
not to Debian.  (It's possible that this affects Debian too, but then
it's also possible that this is a result of driver changes in the
Raspbian kernel.  I'm not able to determine that.)

Ben.
