BTW is this documented somewhere? well, the driver that just left new works flawlessly with 2.6.26 which is what was in use when i prepared the package. due to the delay with NEW, it's not fully working yet with 2.6.29. you may want to look at the git tree which has a newer version and is supposed to work well with 2.6.29 (it builds, but i've not tested it yet). Okay, will try when I find the time.

Bug#529268: broadcom-sta-source: compiled module freezes system
Package: broadcom-sta-source Version: 5.10.79.10-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system I'm running 2.6.29-2-686 on an up-to-date sid system. After building the corresponding module package with m-a and installing it the system is not usable anymore. As soon as wl.ko is insmod'ed the system freezes without further information. Given that the module might be installed automatically on reboot one might end up with an unbootable system, at least unbootable from disk. I do not have more information right now, but wanted to send in this report so people are aware of it. Also I'd be interested in hearing whether it works for some other people. of course I will try to get more information.
