Greg,
After I looked into the actual fix needed, it was clear that the original fix was quite invasive because it had a number of prerequisites. After reducing the fix to the bare minimum, it seems that the resulting fix may be a candidate for stable 2.6.34.Y, or at least the openSUSE kernel.

The tested patch is as follows:
========================================================================== From: Christoph Fritz
For some Netbook computers with Broadcom BCM4312 wireless interfaces, the SPROM has been moved to a new location. When the ssb driver tries to read the old location, the systems hangs when trying to read a non-existent location. Such freezes are particularly bad as they do not log the failure.
This patch is modified from commit da1fdb02d9200ff28b6f3a380d21930335fe5429 with some pieces from other mainline changes so that it can be applied to stable 2.6.34.Y.

<snip> That looks very reasonable. Care to resend it to stable@kernel.org so that I can apply it to the next -stable release? Note, I'm travelling at the moment, so it will be a few days before I can get to this. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
