Hi Avi, I tried the "quick temporary fix" suggested on the page (doing the
modprobe), but that just gave me an error and turned wireless off
completely, so I was reluctant to doing anything permanent to the kernel.
Apologies the dmesg was cutoff. There's a 40k limit to message size, so I
had to keep cutting until the message got through. Here's the end of the
dmesg:
