It produces some annoying behaviour with the Wifi kill-switch. As rfkill can not get the state of the physical kill-switch, both state may differ. physical switch is OFF rfkill state is ON => Laptop hangs on boot (maybe because a physical ascent device is used by network subsystem) physical switch is OFF rfkill state is OFF => Activate interface in Gnome Connection Manager => System hang test setup: Dell Vostro 3300 Broadcom 4313 Wifi Kernel 3.5.[0-2] & 3.6 Fedora 17 --- Again this is an example for patches accepted in mainline without being tested on supported hardware :-(
