How can I verify on my laptop before the next release ? I currently have 11.3 rc2 installed. When I replace there ssb.ko by html://lwfinger.net/ssb.ko, the kernel boots fine, but I cannot anymore load b43.ko;
43xx wlan adapters from Broadcom like [1] need the wl driver. This driver is not included in the kernel but you can install the broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp-* packages from the "packman" community repository. You can also compile the wl driver from the source downloaded from [2] . The broadcom-wl package includes configuration that resolves the dependencies of b43 and bss. You can check with "lspci" what PCI IDs wlan adapter you have and take a look in the README.txt on [2] whether your adapter is supported by the wl driver.
