No problems, well for interest's sake, this is the `lspci -vnn` output for the relevant device: > 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n > Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01) > Subsystem: Apple Computer Inc.

I was preferring to stick with open-source drivers as I personally hate proprietary blobs in kernel space. Hence my focus would be to fix the open-source driver. :-) I shall do a pull of the relevant git tree and see how it goes. Thanks in advance. Regards, -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) .'''.
