Okay, thanks... yes, the .config lacked from "brcmsmac" driver and thus it was not compiled with it. This is now solved :-) root@stt300:~# uname -r; modinfo brcmsmac 3.9.0-rc4 filename: /lib/modules/3.9.0-rc4/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/brcmsmac.ko firmware: brcm/bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw firmware: brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw license: Dual BSD/GPL description: Broadcom 802.11n wireless LAN driver. author: Broadcom Corporation alias: bcma:m04BFid0812rev18cl* alias: bcma:m04BFid0812rev17cl* alias: bcma:m04BFid0812rev11cl* depends: mac80211,bcma,brcmutil,cfg80211,cordic intree: Y vermagic: 3.9.0-rc4 SMP mod_unload modversions 686 Curiously enough, loading the module does not makes the system to freeze. In fact, I can even get associated with the AP without much hassle (!) but I still experience the same behaviuor than using the stock drivers from kernel 3.9.0-rc2 (wlan0 is up but pings are rejected).
