'wl' driver broken since 2.6.27-4

Bug Description

The restricted driver module 'wl' worked correctly with kernel version 2.6.27-3.

Today I did a clean install using the current daily alternate-build. The installation routine has recognized my bcm4328 wireless chipset and activated the wl module.

But ifconfig -a doesn't show any wireless cards. Also after blacklisting/unloading ssb and b43 nothing is recognized.

Hi Tobias,

Looking at some other bug reports it looks like might be a duplicate of bug 263184. Care to take a peek to confirm? Thanks.

yes, should be a dup.

Note, that the wl driver worked very well with 2.6.27-3 after blacklisting ssb and b43.

Thanks
