Johannes,

I have discovered that both b43 and b43legacy broke somewhere between 3.7-rc1 and 3.7-rc2. The problem was bisected to commit fe57d9f. The commit message is

commit fe57d9f5c0a2c1ef97ba8cdc42cfda5743f287b8

    mac80211: track whether to use channel contexts

    Depending on the driver, channel contexts may be used or
    not. If they are used, the driver must have support for
    hardware scan and remain-on-channel; otherwise the driver
    must not advertise support for multiple channels.

    Also prohibit WDS type interfaces when channel contexts
    are to be used as there's no clear definition of which
    channel they use.

    Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

It seems likely that the drivers are inadvertently advertising support for multiple channels, What must be done to turn off this "feature"?

Thanks,

Larry
