Subject: [PATCH] b43: support new RX header, noticed to be used in 598.314+ fw

breaks my b43 SDIO card in 3.2-ish kernels. Given the approaching
3.2-final release, would be nice to have it fixed before that. The card
I've got is marked with some "SD-Link11g" from some "C-guys, Inc." from
Taiwan:-) Using firmware version 410.31754. Do I really _have_ to update
or is the driver supposed to handle "all" firmware versions, or at least
not drop ones, it used to support before?

The only cards that *need* to use the new-style firmware are those for which firmware does not exist in the older versions. As this is not the case for your device, something else is wrong.

Please post the details for your card. If you had a PCI system, I would ask for 'lspci -n'. Please do the same for the SDIO card.

From your message, it appears that 3.1 works OK. If that is true, would it be possible for you to bisect this problem?
