Thom, thanks for the clarification. This is a bad behavior then. As the universe freeze already happened, new package versions need an exception in order to go to Universe. I currently try to get one in bug 84917 in order to have the latest and greatest version of bcm43xx- fwcutter in Universe.
I'd like to assign this bug to the kernel also, since there are many pieces of information in here. ** Also affects: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Broadcom bcm43xx broken with 2.6.20.8 kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/85099 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
