Public bug reported:
The 2.6.32 kernel is great as it adds preliminary support for many low
power b43 chipsets (tested on the 4312 LP-PHY in my Dell Mini 9).
Unfortunately this support has not been enabled in the config used to
compile the kernel in Lucid. Although I can still use the card via the
proprietary bcmwl driver, it is not my preferred option due to its
closed source nature, and its restrictive access to functions such
monitor, and packet injection.
Please enable support in this kernel via the CONFIG_B43_PHY_LP handle.
Many thanks!
Riz
