Hi,

Please test if your Broadcom wireless works if you boot into the older kernel 2.6.28-11 by selecting it in the grub boot menu.

If wireless works on kernel 2.6.28-11, avoid booting into kernel 2.6.28-12 until all the required hardware is supported in 2.6.28-12

Regards,

Mark

Hi,

I don't know, because I am not a developer. As soon as they are ready, I guess ;-)

I can confirm this issue as well. However, I have another problem in the -11 kernel. I have to deactivate the restricted driver and then re-activate it every time I do a fresh boot. I have not idea why.
