@Christoper: This is a valid bug. The fact that it hasn't been fixed in 1.5 years doesn't make it invalid. By closing this and invalid and making me create a new one you just drop useful information, delete hottness and exclude subscribers from progress on the new bug. Not the way to go imo --

Yeah... the b43 driver somewhat worked with raring but has always been very unstable for me. Additionally it does not support the 5GHz band on the BCM4331 chip which would eliminate it as an alternative to the bcmwl, even if it would become more stable. -- You received this bug notification
