bcm43xx driver, etch 4.0r1



Dear Broadcom 54g and Debian users,

As some of you may know, the free Broadcom wifi drivers (bcm43xx) had some kind of "package duplication" bug in Debian Etch 2.6.18-4-x kernels. Using this driver with some broadcom chips (for example broadcom 4306) ended up with DUP! (duplicated) packages when pinging.

The latest big Debian Etch update (r1) updates (among others) the kernel to 2.6.18-5.

I just wanted to post my good experience with this kernel, as bcm43xx is no more buggy. "Duplicated ping packages" bug is now fixed in Debian, no more need for ndiswrapper and Windows binary drivers.

Thanks debian devels.
