Public bug reported: My laptop has a BCM4328 draft-N wireless chipset that requires ndiswrapper. This broke between 2.6.24-10-generic and 2.6.24-11-generic because the ssb module now grabs the device before ndiswrapper.

(Are free drivers supposed to actually support the 4328 yet? This would make me happy, but I didn’t think they do.) ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: My laptop has a BCM4328 draft-N wireless chipset that requires ndiswrapper.
