* suspend: suspend-to-ram never worked before on this system -- i forgot to mention that in the original report. a kernel upgrade to experimental's linux-image-3.7-trunk-amd64 3.7.1-1~experimental.2 version made suspend-to-ram just work.
* wifi: i found out more about the original wifi problem as things broke after the 3.7 kernel update. the free kernel module brcmsmac works when loaded (this is what was used during installation), but has the signal strength issue described in the november 28th message. that problem persists up to kernel 3.7. the nonfree wl kernel module, which can be generated from broadcom-sta-dkms, was what made wifi work at full strength back then. however, that module crashes 3.7 until #698216 is fixed. the patch referenced there can easily be applied even now. to stay on the safe side, the free driver's bcma module probably needs blacklisting on this system as well (see #697496), but i've had enough reboots today to not test whether i really need that now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
