  broadcom sta driver disabled and not working after update
  I applied the latest updates today and when I rebooted, My wireless broadcom driver is not working and the ifconfig does not list it either anymore, was working 8 min ago but is now dead. If I turn off the wireless with a switch and back on, I get a blue light but it remains disabled and greyed out on the network icon.

  Ubuntu 10.04, latest updates applied daily.

  I removed the driver and reinstalled it, it did not help at all.

  Also, my Truecryt gdecrypt stopped working.

  Update: it seems the wireless switch on the front of the laptop is now working backwards, in checking the daemon log I found

  Turning off the wifi so the light goes out:

  Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> WiFi now enabled by radio killswitch
  Oct 2 20:09:18 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): bringing up device.

  Oct 2 20:09:20 chuck-laptop avahi-daemon[880]: Registering new address record for fe80::216:44ff:fe7c:fe60 on eth1.*.

  Turning the wifi ON the front of the computer so the light is on:

  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch
  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): device state change: 3 -> 2 (reason 0)
  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): deactivating device (reason: 0).
  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> Policy set 'Auto eth0' (eth0) as default for routing and DNS.

  Turning off the switch:

  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): taking down device.
  Oct 2 20:09:50 chuck-laptop avahi-daemon[880]: Withdrawing address record for fe80::216:44ff:fe7c:fe60 on eth1.
  Oct 2 20:10:05 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> WiFi now enabled by radio killswitch
  Oct 2 20:10:05 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): bringing up device.
  Oct 2 20:10:05 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): supplicant interface state: starting -> ready
  Oct 2 20:10:05 chuck-laptop NetworkManager: <info> (eth1): device state change: 2 -> 3 (reason 42)
  Oct 2 20:10:07 chuck-laptop avahi-daemon[880]: Registering new address record for fe80::216:44ff:fe7c:fe60 on eth1.*.

  Update, I found that if I boot the laptop up with the networking switch
  off, then, after I'm booted up, turn it on, it works.

  However if I reboot the laptop with the network switch in the on
  position I get the above issue with the switch being inverted and not
  working properly.
