Hello Michael,

my b43 wireless card (Dell 830) is not working with the latest net-2.6 (and
also linux-2.6 2.6.31-05767-gdf58bee).

net-2.6 2.6.31-03263-gc29854e is working
net-2.6 2.6.31-03301-ga97e178 is broken

I removed the patch with the work_queue stuff which did not help - so it's
probably the other patch you added to b43 recently.

Don't know ... the wlan0 link does not become ready anymore.

If you need some more information - please let me know.
Is this working better now, with 2.6.31-rc1?
Thanks for coming back on this.

Yes it is fixed now.

   'cfg80211: fix SME connect'

broke it and

   'cfg80211: don't overwrite privacy setting'

fixed it afterwards (at least in my setup).

So it's pretty well working now.

Best regards,
Oliver
