Description Jon Hood (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-08 20:28:11 UTC 
There were some known issues with the 2.6.18 kernel and the bcm43xx driver. Additionally, many important updates have been applied since 2.6.17. The wireless-2.6 patch available at ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches should be applied to the gentoo-sources-2.6.18 package if possible to obtain a working bcm43xx driver. I am unaware of any other changes that may take affect in this patch, I only know that my wireless card requires this patch to be applied before it will work. Please review this patch, and if possible, include it in the next -r of the 2.6.18 gentoo-sources.

We wouldn't consider the whole patch but would happily take individual commits which fix stuff once they are tested. Joe might able to advise here.
Comment 2 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-14 13:27:07 UTC 
Don't bother, the patches in question have already been accepted for stable (2.6.18.1).  When you rebase gentoo-sources against .1, you'll get the fixes for free.

Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.18-r1
