Package: linux-2.6
Followup-For: Bug #656813
I admit that starting from the Stanislaw Gruszka's reply i was a bit
lost in this bug report...
With this followup i only wanted to say that with the kernel 3.5 the
message "cfg80211: failed to add phy80211 symlink to netdev!" is gone.
Now i see a "lpc_ich 0000:00:1f.0: I/O space for GPIO uninitialized",
but i think it's another unrelated issue, isn't it? Looking around seems
to be related to some hardware not available on my old Centrino.

Hurrah, thanks for testing.

They apply cleanly to 3.2.y, though I haven't tested them. If you'd
like instructions for trying a backport, please don't hesitate to ask.
Ciao,
