Seems stable each time until there is an update that requires a reboot, then I have to reapply VSF. Quick question, since I am using this driver, how would I know that an update fixed my wireless...
Just rummaged through every setting and I don't see that as an option anywhere.
I am not sure where that TKIP setting comes from because I have security set up as WPA2/WPA mixed mode

Another quick question - is 72 mbps the max connection speed for this wireless adapter?
It is holding after reboot. Guess we'll have to see what happens with the next kernel update.
Any output that would be helpful to you?

So, I reinstalled the broadcom driver, then reapplied VSF and all is working. I blacklisted the bcma driver as above. Here is the output of the code from above, indicating the correct driver is in...
Went ahead and did a reboot, and wi-fi is gone again. I am beginning to think a better solution is to do a fresh install of 12.04. Not sure I am man enough to help you guys resolve this.

wl.ko
Something is not going right. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but based upon the original VSF, I was remaining in the extracted folder after step 7 when I initially ran through these steps. As...
That directory is still on my desktop, with the wl.ko file present. However, previously I navigated to that directory before running those commands.

root@long-Lenovo:/home/long# cp wl.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
cp: cannot stat ‘wl.ko’: No such file or directory
Did I need to navigate to that directory?
Just the modem, or the router also?

Still no wifi.

VSF lives on!!
Ah yes, making fun of the noob and his terminal skills.
