Recently I moved to kernel .25-r4. I want to use newest firmware version with
b43 for my 4311 rev 1 wireless card. I cut the firmware to /lib/firmware/b43/,
do rmmod b43, modprobe b43 and it still uses old firmware:
b43-phy0: Broadcom 4311 WLAN found
b43-phy0 debug: Found PHY: Analog 4, Type 2, Revision 8
b43-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2050, Revision 2
b43-phy0 debug: DebugFS (CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) not enabled in kernel config
b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 410.2160 (2007-05-26 15:32:10)
b43-phy0 debug: Chip initialized
b43-phy0 debug: 32-bit DMA initialized
b43-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started
b43-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2
Ideas?
Also I can also confirm freezing after hibernation on HP lappy.

That's the new firmware.

A good bug report describes:
1) What you do (you missed some details, such as the firmware name)
2) What you get (that was mostly OK)
3) What you expect to get (that was missing completely)

Since the firmware tarball has name broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5 and since the
firmware is updated constantly, I find this disturbing:

How can you tell it's the newest firmware?
