Re: NETDEV-BCM43XX BUG - Failure to associate AP with latest devscape git pull..

[Robert Martin <robertm83@gmail.com>]

I've only had the laptop (Compaq V6000Z series) for about a week, so I'd 
be unable to tell you if the driver had worked before, but I seem to 
have had the same problem that Paul Collins did pertaining to frequency 
mismatch.  Setting it manually to the value "iwlist" gave me for the AP 
makes it work, albeit at very slow speeds (driver issue?).  I might have 
been mistaken about the PCI-E, the lspci -n gives me...

03:00.0 0280: 14e4:4311 (rev 01)

...and lspci -vvv gives me...

...although I could have sworn I read somewhere that this series uses 
the PCI-E mini bus.  Thank you for your time.
