Tested today with up-to-date Jaunty. For what it's worth, I do not see
Tim's patch; dg's strings trick gives me
$ strings `modinfo wl | grep filename | awk {'print $2'}` | grep Broadcom
%s: Broadcom BCM%04x 802.11 Wireless Controller 5.10.27.11
That's the bad news. The good news is that nothing else is broken.
Here's the complete test....
Fresh Intrepid install from recently downloaded production CD; brought
up-to-date with update-manager; no backports, no proposed.
Made sure Broadcom driver deactivated.
Upgrade to Jaunty (update-manager -d), bring up to date, cleaned out all
leftovers with Synaptic and with cruft remover.
Insert RetailPlus+ (ZyDAS WLA-54L) - connects to WAP2 AES WAP OK -
network OK
Remove RetailPlus+ - OK
Turn on DELL wireless switch - turns on Bluetooth only
Turn off DELL wireless switch - OK
Activate Broadcom STA - OK
Insert RetailPlus+ - connects to WAP2 AES WAP OK - network OK
Remove RetailPlus+ - OK
Turn on DELL wireless switch - internal Broadcom and Bluetooth activated
OK
Connect to unprotected network via internal Broadcom - OK
Connect to WAP2 AES WAP via internal Broadcom - system FREEZE just after
connection established
BRS, turn off DELL wireless switch, reboot, use RetailPlus+, all OK.
So the problem is still there for me - but I don't see Tim's patch
anywhere - and nothing else is broken.
As soon as I see Tim's patch I'll test again and report back. Any hints
as to how to pick it up?
