Bleeding Edge b43 dated since 30 of september no longer working & today does not even compile.

Hello!

The problem is described in the topic.

Symptons:

The driver gets loaded and all depending drivers too but the wireless
device does not come up (iwconfig shows nothing, "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP):"
does not follow in /var/log/messages after modprobing).

Any hints for me? Maybe a new functionality that has to be triggered?

I am using the bleeding drivers on a Compaq 615 Notebook having PCI ID
14e4:4315 (Broadcom) under Ubuntu 9.04 with kernel
2.6.30-02063006-generic AMD64.

Currently I am testing the bleeding edge driver nearly every day because
I am a very curious man :-) and my hope is to one day find the best
(fast and stable) wireless driver I can get for my notebook ;-)

The most stable driver at the moment (for me) is the archive from the
16th of september and as you can read here
http://forums.opensuse.org/2045067-post38.html bleeding edge had already
a failure that stopped working from 17th to 26th of september (for me)
where Larry pointed to a problem with cfg80211 (I am using WPA2).

Another problem is that the archive from today can not be compiled:
