I previously posted that I had problems getting my wireless device working with the new 2.6.24 kernel, running into a kernel oops in the process. In kernels prior to 2.6.24 I used the bcm43xx driver, and let NetworkManager handle connecting to wireless networks. I've since had some time to play around with 2.6.24 a bit more, and I'm happy to say wireless is working now! Here's what I did: - Install b43-fwcutter - Add b43 to /etc/modules - Add ', ATTR{type}="1"' after the MAC address to the line in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules that contains your wireless device. This ensures that udev will assign the same interface name to the wireless device as it had before, which means you don't have to reconfigure your firewall!
