Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-rt
The actual package that did the breaking I believe was linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-rt.
Sometime last week, (The June-July week) that package was upgraded to 2.6.24-19-19.44 from 2.6.24-19-19.42. This upgrade broke the wireless driver for the bcm4310. This is the wireless in the Pavillion tx2000 series laptops from HP. Basically in the restricted driver manager it shows wl as being enabled, but the hardware is not present. I forced Linux-restricted-modules-rt back to down to 2.6.24-18.20 which basically reinstalls the 2.6.24-18-rt kernel which upon booting restores the wireless back to its working state.
The problems in essence is that the new restricted modules for 2.6.24-19-rt breaks wireless with bcm4310.
That's about the best bug report I can write. I Hope this helps others.

This is Hardy 32bit on a HP Pavillion TX2000Z Tablet. In the beginning(?) I used ndiswrapper as per a tutorial on the forums, however I don't know if that is the "wl" driver or not. I do know that downgrading worked and for now I have locked all offending packages. |

Note:
as this is my first bug report I am sorry if this is in the wrong place/format. I am just trying to help. |
