I was surprised this new "compat-driver" included brcmsmac drivers and wanted to give it a try as compiling a complete new kernel is a very consuming task. > Sorry I dropped the ball after a while on the brcmsmac quest > (bug#664767). No, sir, I only can thank you for all your efforts about this. I was also a bit tired because I get no success (last kernel I compiled from upstream sources was 3.8.something and it failed the same way). > I believe Arend made a candidate bugfix (cc-ing you and me to notify > us) that was merged in 3.8-rc7. Have you tried 3.8.2 from experimental? I will try, Jonathan, and keep bug #664767 updated accordingly.
