[Bug 585183] [NEW] Broadcom STA wireless driver not working with kernel 2.6.34 RC7

[Martin Wildam]

Public bug reported:

For testing another kernel bugfix I installed the kernel
2.6.34-020634rc7_amd64

After installing that kernel the built-in Broadcom STA wireless device
did not work any more (this bug reported from affected machine but
already back on official release kernel).

I tried to get it to work with manual work - but things got only worse -
see bug 584753.
