Hi,
when the broadcom-sta driver didn't compile with 2.6.33 I decided to
give b43 a new try. I have a Lenovo Ideapad S12, which has a BCM4312
with LP Phy (14e4:4315). I am using Debian unstable.
When I load the module, a new interface wlan0 appears, but iwlist scan
says "Interface doesn't support scanning". Looks like the device isn't
properly initialized.
Here is the information you may need:

What is this CRDA business? May I be missing something?
Any hints will be appreciated.
