I don't run kernel 3.4.15. My patch was for wireless-testing, which is the one 
that would be needed for submission. In addition, the hunk I supplied was for 
b43_bcma_remove() and one is also needed for b43_ssb_remove(). I will annotate 
the patch for porting to stable. When that happens, I will need to modify the 
patch for 3.4.X.

Thanks for testing.

Is it OK if I add a "Tested-by: Markus Kanet <dvmailing at gmx.eu> to the submitted 
patch?
