Package: broadcom-sta-source
Version: 5.100.82.38-1
Severity: normal
Hello, I had debian testing with kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 and broadcom-sta drivers
compiled with module asisstant and wifi was working ok.
After an upgrade of testing, the kernel 2.6.38 was installed.
I reboot with the new kernel and recompiled the broadcom-sta drivers:
m-a update
m-a a-i broadcom-sta
No errors on compiling and installing the driver.
I loaded the driver but can't get connection, network-manager does not list my
home wifi net.
I disabled network-manager and configured /etc/network/interfaces as follow:
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid HOME_SSID
wpa-psk PASSWORD
then run ifup, but can't get connection:
root@debian-vostro:/home/alejandro# ifup eth1

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
So I reboot again with kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 and recompiled the drivers
with module assistan and the same happens, can't establish a wifi connection.
For now, I removed the new package installed by m-a and reinstalled a previous
version
also compiled by m-a:
dpkg -i broadcom-sta-modules-2.6.32-5-amd64_5.60.48.36-2+2.6.32-23_amd64.deb
And the wifi works again.
Hope this help. Thanks.
