Comment 74 for bug 292450

Tested today with up-to-date Jaunty. For what it's worth, I do not see Tim's patch; dg's strings trick gives me

    $ strings `modinfo wl | grep filename | awk {'print $2'}` | grep Broadcom
    %s: Broadcom BCM%04x 802.11 Wireless Controller 5.10.27.11

That's the bad news. The good news is that nothing else is broken. Here's the complete test....

Fresh Intrepid install from recently downloaded production CD; brought up-to-date with update-manager; no backports, no proposed.

Made sure Broadcom driver deactivated.

Upgrade to Jaunty (update-manager -d), bring up to date, cleaned out all leftovers with Synaptic and with cruft remover.

Insert RetailPlus+ (ZyDAS WLA-54L) - connects to WAP2 AES WAP OK - network OK

Remove RetailPlus+ - OK

Turn on DELL wireless switch - turns on Bluetooth only

Turn off DELL wireless switch - OK

Activate Broadcom STA - OK

Insert RetailPlus+ - connects to WAP2 AES WAP OK - network OK

Remove RetailPlus+ - OK

Turn on DELL wireless switch - internal Broadcom and Bluetooth activated OK

Connect to unprotected network via internal Broadcom - OK

Connect to WAP2 AES WAP via internal Broadcom - system FREEZE just after connection established

BRS, turn off DELL wireless switch, reboot, use RetailPlus+, all OK.

So the problem is still there for me - but I don't see Tim's patch anywhere - and nothing else is broken.

As soon as I see Tim's patch I'll test again and report back. Any hints as to how to pick it up?
