[PATCH] rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix connection lost problem correctly

There has been a coding error in rtl8821ae since it was first introduced, namely that an 8-bit register was read using a 16-bit read in _rtl8821ae_dbi_read(). This error was fixed with commit 40b368af4b75 ("rtlwifi: Fix alignment issues"); however, this change led to instability in the connection.

B43 driver no longer works in Linux 4.15 (bisected)

In the time between Linux 4.15-rc8 and -rc9, my wireless driver, b43, would no longer load automatically. When I modprobe the b43 (and ssb) modules, the device still didn't appear in NetworkManager. Comparing the kernel logs between working (4.14.16-lts) and nonworking (4.15) kernels reveals that t
