Hello.
As of Kernel 3.15 a long standing bug in b43 affecting the way it
handles rather recent firmware started to become manifest in failure of
the driver, see e. g. [0,1].
A patch is available [2] but hasn't made it into 3.15.2.
A version of package linux I recompiled applying the patch works
flawlessly, imho other workarounds like sticking with 3.14 or using
older firmware are less reasonable.
So I'd like to ask whether there are any chances to get this patch into
the linux package.
Attaching a file that can be used in prepare() the usual way (patch -p1
-i "${srcdir}/...").
Regards,
Peter Mattern
