Hello, I'm using the card:
03:03.0 0280: 14e4:4320 (rev 03) Since kernel 3.4 b43 has problems with loading the firmware for me. Bisecting gave # bad: [6b6fa5868eec26bdc6a83543cebb8cf832a2645a] b43: Load firmware from a work queue and not from the probe routine git bisect bad 6b6fa5868eec26bdc6a83543cebb8cf832a2645a # good: [a3ea2c76b193be5794e0de6aff66e14c21b904f8] b43legacy: Load firmware from work queue instead of from probe routine git bisect good a3ea2c76b193be5794e0de6aff66e14c21b904f8 With the problematic kernel dmesg tells me: [ 1.230562] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found (core revision 5) [ 1.363845] b43-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 2, Type 2, Revision 2 [ 1.363866] b43-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2 [ 61.944937] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found [ 61.944942] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode5.fw" not found [ 61.944945] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website. Surprisingly, I could get the driver to load the firmware by including b43/ucode5.fw in the kernel. Furthermore it seems to be able to load other firmware from /lib/firmware. Now (actually this output is from the current kernel from git) dmesg says: [ 1.224694] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4306 WLAN found (core revision 5) [ 1.358016] b43-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 2, Type 2, Revision 2 [ 1.358037] b43-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2 [ 62.012797] Registered led device: b43-phy0::tx [ 62.019411] Registered led device: b43-phy0::rx [ 62.022505] Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio [ 62.512028] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 666.2 (2011-02-23 01:15:07) [ 62.512034] b43-phy0 warning: No "pcm5.fw" firmware file found.

Do you have an idea what could be the problem or give me some hints how to debug it?
