I'm not sure this is ready for prime time. After I installed it, my b43 was
never able to reconnect after any kind of disconnect. The log is uninformative:
===========================================
b43-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started
b43-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2
wlan0: direct probe to 00:14:bf:85:49:fa (try 1)
wlan0: direct probe responded
wlan0: authenticate with 00:14:bf:85:49:fa (try 1)
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with 00:14:bf:85:49:fa (try 1)
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:14:bf:85:49:fa (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1)
wlan0: associated
b43-phy0 debug: Using hardware based encryption for keyidx: 0, mac:
00:14:bf:85:49:fa
b43-phy0 debug: Disabling hardware based encryption for keyidx: 0, mac:
00:14:bf:85:49:fa
wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:14:bf:85:49:fa by local choice (reason=3)
===========================================
Reauthentication fails with a pop-up to reenter the WPA2 secret as I'm using
NetworkManager. I can only reconnect if b43 (and mac80211) are unloaded and
reloaded. I pulled the patch and confirmed that proper behavior is returned.
