Hi Gaudenz, meta:
* I'm replying on #749109, as this part of the discussion is about code that's being added to live-config, not to broadcom-sta. * Daniel: sorry for the useless ping sent earlier this month on #748679, I was confused by the remaining tags left there after cloning. * I've tried to clarify the status of these two bug reports in the BTS, and the relationship between them, which seemed very confusing to me initially; sorry if I messed something up.

I've seen broadcom-sta support requested quite often on the Tails user support channels, while I don't remember anything similar for other drivers, so I say let's get the ad-hoc support for broadcom-sta in first, hopefully in time for Jessie, and then we'll see if/how it can be generalized.
