Comment 4 for bug 32256

I have more or less the same bug for my broadcom chipset on aspire 1513 (amd64).

0000:02:08.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Wistron NeWeb Corp.: Unknown device 1220
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 177
        Memory at d0114000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

It appears to associate with my access point (at ~1 meter from my laptop, without wep/wpa) but it cannot get an IP address.

Watching the interface eth1 with tcpdump, it appears the kernel doesn't send any packet ! I cannot see any dhcp/bootp packet. But I see incoming packets from my wireless router (broadcast udp for instance).

It looks like a kernel driver bug.
