Comment 6 for bug 583564

HI,

Haha - ok so maybe the bog was superfluous!

Re. b43 (though I don't want to divert onto that issue here) - the combination of bcm4312, 2.6.32 and the Dell Mini 10v does not work at all - something to do with low power architecture. I'm led to believe it works with 2.6.33 and did start down the route of getting the new kernel...until I broke something and gave up. The workaround suggested to disable DMA also does not seem to work with this setup. So we're stuck on STA.

As to STA - there really is a problem, and I've been rather chaotically trawling forums and trying solutions for a couple of months. I'm afraid I've reached the end of my technical knowledge here, and for productivity purposes the time available means its easier for me to just carry a second wireless dongle and forget about it.

But I do keep seeing other people with the same problem and no solution....its like wandering around in the fog of broadcom related frustrations bumping into other lost people! Just struck me as pretty bad to have a non-functional netbook that I bought with Ubuntu pre-installed....albeit a hobbled Dell version that I immediately replaced. I'll see where I get following your suggestions...

Cheers
