Hey,

I've just discovered I can not connect with my 14e4:4315 to my home network.

dmesg:
[  119.744050] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 478.104 (2008-07-01 00:50:23)

wpa_supplicant fills my console with:

It seems it was already reported, for example in:
"No probe response from AP <address> after 500ms, disconnecting." by

What's really surprising I can not connect to this network also when
using wl 5.100.82.38!

Did anyone of you already got some faulty BCM4312 hardware? Did it
behave like this? I'm surprised than scanning works, but connection is
quickly dropped. It does not really sound like a faulty hardware.

Of course I'll experiment with this more, for now just early-asking.
