Source: broadcom-sta
Version: 5.100.82.112-7
Severity: grave
broadcom-sta wrongly detects Linux 3.x as supporting only WEXT. It
therefore won't work with Network Manager and other applications that
use netlink for wireless configuration. Marking as grave since this
makes it useless in a default desktop installation.
I'm attaching a patch that should fix the version checks.
Ben.

Subject: Use cfg80211 on Linux 3.x
The version checks for use of cfg80211 vs WEXT gave the wrong answer
for 3.x.
