Not sure if this is relevant, but.. I've dumped kernel 3.8.0-19 because while booting/dmesg I saw a number of "swap_free: bad swap file entry..", which scared the hell out of me.
So I went and installed the latest mainline kernel (3.9.0-030900), which effectively solved that issue. Now the bcmwl package above needs an extra patch, basically: +#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 9, 0) + cfg80211_put_bss(bss); +#else + cfg80211_put_bss(wl_to_wiphy(wl), bss); +#endif That got me a working wl driver. Managing to get a semi-working alx driver (for the AR8161 ethernet card) was hit-and-miss. In the end I settled for compat-drivers-3.9-rc4-2-su, as e.g. compat-drivers-2013-03-28-5-u caused all sorts of errors/panics related to hdmi audio (as if this had anything to do with ethernet!), which itself made the whole intel video driver fail miserably. I have to keep reminding myself why I use Linux (when I started with Linux the kernel didn't even support modules :) It seems that the latest fashion in linux kernel development is to break fvcking compatibility with anything, just for the fvck of it, with every fvcking minor release.
