Comment 10 for bug 197959

Hi All,

Mikeos, you appear to have a different wireless card than the original bug reporter. It's helpful to the development teams if bug reports target a specific issue against a specific set of hardware since in most cases the fix will require code changes to different drivers. I see you seem to have found another existing bug report which has the same hardware as you. I'd enourage you to continue to follow up there.

der_vegi, it seems quite a few changes for the broadcom b43 driver went in between 2.6.24-10 and 2.6.24-11. Refer to: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/ . Just curious how comfortable you are building your own kernel and doing a git bisect to help narrow down the specific offending patch that may be causing you issues? The following links may help:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild - rather than using the upstream mainline kernel use the Ubuntu kernel source to build

Let us know if this is something you'd be willing to do as I realize it is a bit much to ask of you a bug reporter. I just know it would be extremely helpful to the kernel team. Thanks.
