Actually, no you didn't.

- that's apparently different hardware (at least in the original bug
report - some of the "me too" posters may actually have had the Broadcom
wifi - but nobody said so).

- not only different hardware, but specifically about enabling a software
control method

- different hardware, and in fact he has a workaround

Same problem as your second link, but different hardware - again, there's no
way of knowing if it actually refers to the same wireless NIC.

Could well be, but there's no way of knowing so far.  Imo, the only thing
that came out of those links that shows some promise is the person who
stated that he'd disabled his wireless under Windows, and couldn't then
_re-enable_ it in Linux.  So Deguz, if you dual boot in Windows, go to
Windows and make sure it's functioning there, then reboot in Linux.
