Comment 20 for bug 931168

Yes, I would like to keep my netbook with 12.04.x LTS if possible.
In any case, it's not just a question of me.
If I understood correctly, the kernel for 12.04.x LTS will be upgraded to improve hardware support in the future (because it's a LTS).
IMHO, this could be a fix that might be included in this process.

I tested the kernel 3.5.0_14 from quantal repos on my 12.04 netbook : it detects all 13 channels. So the fix is definitely in the kernel.
I had to install http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/i386/linux-image-3.5.0-14-generic, http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/i386/kernel/linux-image-extra-3.5.0-14-generic, http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/linux-headers-3.5.0-14, and http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/i386/linux-headers-3.5.0-14-generic

I had a quick look at the changelog on git.kernel.org : it looks like the firmware for brcm4313 has been upgraded. If we're lucky, backporting this firmware might be enough?
Of course, I'm willing to help and test.

Regarding the status of this ticket, I don't see why it should be closed a Invalid.
IMHO, it should be closed as "Fix released" for Quantal, and still "Confirmed" for Precise (until we find a way to backport the fix)
