(Get the code!)
Hello,
corrected bcmwl does work on my machine (AO751h, 3.5.0-21-generic)
I only struggled a bit to take it into use (but mostly because of my
lack of linux admin competence).
Wireless card kept on loading b43 driver even after I had blacklisted it
in /etc/modprobe.
loading of drivers already included in the kernel you need to exclude
them at boot. I did that by adding "b43.blacklist=yes ssb.blacklist=yes"
in GRUB_CMDLINE_
I had no problem at all in connecting to the same wireless lan I was
using with b43 driver. Even better, bcmwl seems to provide more stable
connections. With b43 driver I was experiencing random disconnections
after a few hours, that seems not to happen any more with bcmwl.
I'm also going to label the correction as valid in launchpad, of course.
Thanks for this correction!
