Comment 23 for bug 85099

I have a broadcom 4309 and with 3.x firmware under the 2.6.20.8 kernel, my wireless interface shows up under iwconfig, but if I try and set anything like the SSID, if get a bunch of errors.

With a 4.x Windows drivers, it appears like it's going to work, ie APs show up under network manager, but the status of those APs is unknown. I can't connect to any of them and ultimately the laptop does a hard lock.

My question is what is at fault for not handling the 4.x firmware? Is it just bcm43xx-fwcutter or is there something in the kernel that needs changing also?
