[Lucid]kernel 2.6.32-7.9 b43 wifi module has LP-PHY chipset support disabled

[craptree]

The 2.6.32 kernel is great as it adds preliminary support for many low power b43 chipsets (tested on the 4312 LP-PHY in my Dell Mini 9).

Unfortunately this support has not been enabled in the config used to compile the kernel in Lucid. Although I can still use the card via the proprietary bcmwl driver, it is not my preferred option due to its closed source nature, and its restrictive access to functions such monitor, and packet injection.

Please enable support in this kernel via the CONFIG_B43_PHY_LP handle.

Many thanks!
