Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24
Hi,
I have a HP G7000 with a Broadcom wlan device:
$ lspci | grep Broadcom
01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev
02)
# lshw -C Network
*-network
description: Network controller
product: BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI
vendor: Broadcom Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:01:00.0
version: 02
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=0 module=ssb
linux-image-2.6.24-10-generic: Version: 2.6.24-10.16
Google tells me that rev 01 should work, but rev02 is only supported by
Kernel 2.6.25.
But Larry Finger made a Patch for 2.6.24, read more here:

Patch: http://linuxwireless.org/download/b43/patch_2.6.24_for_4311_2
It would be very great if you can apply this patch in hardy, to get
another wlan device working.
I saw some other bug reports on launchpad, which maybe could be also
addressed by this patch.
cheers,
Manuel
