However, on Debian the wl driver works with my card: $ uname -a Linux noname 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.63-2+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ dmesg [ 97.463846] wl 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 97.492386] INFO @wl_cfg80211_attach : Registered CFG80211 phy [ 97.493105] wlan0: Broadcom BCM4359 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 5.100.82.112 On ArchLinux I noticed that there is always (for b43 and wl) the same error (INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST) in the dmesg output after the broadcom stuff: [ 587.974839] wl0: online cpus 1 [ 587.975382] wlan0: Broadcom BCM4359 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 6.30.223.248 (r487574) [ 587.983443] wl 0000:02:00.0 wlo1: renamed from wlan0 [ 588.134778] AMD-Vi: Event logged [INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST device=00:00.1 address=0x000000fdf80c0020 flags=0x0a00] I found only one entry on google [1] with the same error and interestingly enough that user has the same wifi card and laptop model (HP Elitebook 755 G2 with AMD processor). Unfortunately the given solution (add *intremap=off* as kernel parameter) does not work for me :( Howsoever: It's not a b43 problem. I don't know...
