I've been mislead: bcma was enabled and thus brcmsmac not shown in menuconfig. Upgrade the kernel to 3.2.0-rc4-00077-g5983fe2, fired up wpa_supplicant. Result: wpa_cli can connect to wpa_supplicant, but stops working after a few seconds: wpa_state=ASSOCIATING > 'PING' command timed out. Connection to wpa_supplicant lost - trying to reconnect Warning: Failed to attach to wpa_supplicant. > 'PING' command timed out. Connection to wpa_supplicant lost - trying to reconnect Warning: Failed to attach to wpa_supplicant. 'PING' command timed out. Connection to wpa_supplicant lost - trying to reconnect Warning: Failed to attach to wpa_supplicant. 'PING' command timed out. Connection to wpa_supplicant lost - trying to reconnect Warning: Failed to attach to wpa_supplicant. No network connectivity and network processes are hanging. I.e. same behaviour as reported on 2011-10-18. Is it possible the related patch as discussed in "BUG: All network processes hang (brcmsmac/wpa_supplicant)" has not been merged into 3.2.0-rc4-00077-g5983fe2? And regarding b43: Wouldn't it be good to remove support for the specific pci-ids from it so it does not create a non-functional wlan0 device?
