[Bug 263106] Re: Post-Hardy regression: b43 and bcm94311 disconnects due to PHY transmission error

[sten]

Mark,

Could you please test 2.6.30-rc1 to see if it still has this timeout bug
on your hardware?

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc1/linux-headers-2.6.30-020630rc1-generic_2.6.30-020630rc1_i386.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc1/linux-headers-2.6.30-020630rc1_2.6.30-020630rc1_all.deb
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30-rc1/linux-image-2.6.30-020630rc1-generic_2.6.30-020630rc1_i386.deb

rc1 was the first kernel release which fixed my bug, but I did note a
timeout bug after a fresh boot.  The workaround was to unload the b43
module after booting, then reload it.

As it stands, it looks like we're going to need a backport of the b43
driver from linux-2.6.30.x

It looks like Mark's BCM4311, Adneto's BCM4312, and my BCM4318 are all
affected...maybe all b43-driven chipsets?
