Yes, I sure have noticed, because I wanted to update the readme file of original broadcom-wl when repacking a tarball. It's funny how even PCI_VENDOR_ID_BROADCOM was replaced with PCI_ANY_ID. > I'll be pleased to upload the new version of the broadcom-sta driver when it's > released (including i386 binary). Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen anytime soon, if at all. After failing to get any reply from broadcom linux-sta driver support, I contacted brcm80211 developers to ask if the linux-sta driver page could be updated with a tarball release of this driver, and an attempt to answer my request was simply: "This driver version was a Dell-specific release, which they can redistribute. However, 5.100.82.112 on our internet page is our latest generic release." > > Anyway this can't be done before Wheezy release. > Nods. I keep forgetting about the "freeze period".
