Hello Greg, that would be https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21872. In the future I will use a URL when referring to a logged bug. The bug occurs when somebody overwrites the firmware (in /lib/firmware/brcm) with bogus files. My recommendation would be to include this patch also for .37 and previous kernels. thanks, Roland. ________________________________________ From: Greg KH [greg@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 11:58 PM To: Roland Vossen Cc: gregkh@xxxxxxx; devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging: brcm80211: added firmware validation On Wed, Dec 01, 2010 at 09:38:31PM +0100, Roland Vossen wrote: > Fix for Bugzilla 21872.
