Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.20-13-generic-di
The firmware extracted from Windows drivers is version 4 and the driver says it doesn't support it (numerous messages in dmesg). The firmware downloaded from the unofficial site http://debian.cafuego.net/dists /feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/ doesn't work particularly well, it deadlocks on ping -f to the nearest wireless gateway, with no chance to rmmod it. The same laptop works great with ndiswrapper, so it's definitely a question of lack of support for relevant firmware and/or a bug in the driver. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- bcm43xx driver still not working well on Lenovo 3000 N100 https://launchpad.net/bugs/99152 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
