Public bug reported: When booting from an Edgy Live DVD on an Acer Ferrari 4005WLMi (BIOS v S3A19), the Broadcom 4318 wireless adapter is not functional. I have installed the firmware in /lib/firmware/2.6.17-10-generic/ as extracted using bcm43xx-fwcutter, but the device doesn't work. However, booting with the kernel options irqpoll pci=routeirq the device works as expected. The device used to work in Dapper.
