Commenting on issue 1 only, here.
Updated deb: http://jas.gemnetworks.com/debian/wireless-bcm43142-dkms-6.20.55.19_amd64.deb Also tested on linux 3.5.0-4.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64, and it works for me Now, given a power regression in kernel 3.5, I was eager to test drive 3.6-rc6, and found rc7 out already! So yesterday I installed linux 3.6-rc7.towo.1-siduction-amd64, the "wl" module compiles and installs, and loads okay upon boot to 3.6-rc7. However, I'm unable to associate to my AP: Pointers in syslog Sep 25 21:34:10 terra wpa_supplicant[2787]: nl80211: 'nl80211' generic netlink not found Sep 25 21:34:10 terra wpa_supplicant[2787]: Failed to initialize driver 'nl80211' [..snip]
Not sure what is snipped here. Your wpa_supplicant seems to try nl80211. Maybe it goes and try WEXT instead, but that is missing from the log. Do you recall or still have the entire syslog?

Sad face. Cheers, Jasmine
