Yes. Unfortunately it's a 14e4:4320/ with BCM4306/2 Chip set (4306 Rev 2), so it |
| 14 |
requires the b43-legacy driver, and only firmware version FW10 supports the |
| 15 |
hardware from what I can tell. |

It just seems to me that I went from a working wireless on 2.6.30 to a |
| 18 |
non-working wireless on 2.6.34. I'd really like to get back to a working |
| 19 |
wireless card, and be on the newer kernel. |

While the steps I quoted may be a work around for 2.6.34 - I haven't had a |
| 22 |
chance to test them yet, hopefully tonight - they are just that, a work around |
| 23 |
for a bug. |
| 24 |
rfkill did install pretty easily once I unmasked it, but I don't know if it will |
| 25 |
work yet either. |
