Bug#889146: AW: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=889146
Hi Ben,
thank you for your fast answer and the very professional completion of my inquiry!
Finally i found the mistake, i installed a 64bit kernel on a 32 bit OS.
Best regards
Masi

I had a quick look at the source for the driver included in the kernel, and it does not appear to support 32-bit utilities working with a 64- bit kernel.
I eventually found the out-of-tree version of the driver (on Broadcom's web site), and that doesn't support any kernel version beyond Linux 2.6.37. So I assume you weren't using this.
Did you switch from a 32-bit to a 64-bit kernel package?
Ben.
