Hello, corrected bcmwl does work on my machine (AO751h, 3.5.0-21-generic) I only struggled a bit to take it into use (but mostly because of my lack of linux admin competence). Wireless card kept on loading b43 driver even after I had blacklisted it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, until I found out that to prevent loading of drivers already included in the kernel you need to exclude them at boot. I did that by adding "b43.blacklist=yes ssb.blacklist=yes" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line of /etc/default/grub. I had no problem at all in connecting to the same wireless lan I was using with b43 driver. Even better, bcmwl seems to provide more stable connections. With b43 driver I was experiencing random disconnections after a few hours, that seems not to happen any more with bcmwl. I'm also going to label the correction as valid in launchpad, of course. Thanks for this correction! - Carlo
