Package: broadcom-sta-source
Version: 5.10.79.10-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I'm running 2.6.29-2-686 on an up-to-date sid system. After building the
corresponding module package with m-a and installing it the system is not
usable anymore. As soon as wl.ko is insmod'ed the system freezes without
further information. Given that the module might be installed automatically on
reboot one might end up with an unbootable system, at least unbootable from
disk.
I do not have more information right now, but wanted to send in this report so
people are aware of it. Also I'd be interested in hearing whether it works for
some other people. of course I will try to get more information.
