Comment 4 for bug 243930

Confirmed on Hardy 8.04 32-bit - Wednesday's automatic updates of the following components broke the wireless on my HP Compaq 6720s laptop with Broadcom BCM 4310 chipset (wl driver):

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic (2.6.24.13-19.42) to 2.6.24.13-19.44
linux-restricted-modules-common (2.6.24.13-19.42) to 2.6.24.13-19.44

I have confirmed this behaviour on 2 different laptops, and 3 Hardy 8.04 installs.

dmesg gives:
