Hi Larry, As requested:

Toggling this function and reloading b43 doesn't seem to make a difference (same dmesg), so I don't know if the key combination is being detected correctly. Thanks for the background information. Of course I want to help to get b43 working rather than using a deprecated driver. regards, Ben -- bcm4306, bcm4309, bcm4311, bcm4312 with b43 : Authentication with AP doesn't work. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
