[Bug 331952] Re: [HP 2133 MiniNote laptop] Unexpected and unrecoverable wireless disconnect with B43 driver

 

1. I'm unsure of what video driver my installation uses.

2. Today I figured I'd reinstall the patched driver, and then from the Firefox download screen I noticed that yesterday I had downloaded (& installed) http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26403054/xserver-xorg-video-via_0.2.903%2Bsvn713-1ubuntu2%7Eppa3_i386.deb
Judging from the name (VIA) it is not an openchrome driver.

3. Nevertheless, Synaptic showed that I already had an openchrome driver
installed.

4. So next I downloaded & installed
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26403053/xserver-xorg-video-
openchrome_0.2.903%2Bsvn713-1ubuntu2%7Eppa3_i386.deb.

5. Changed power save settings and Rebooted.

6. Closed the lid and reopened. Screen comes back on and Hey Presto! The
WLAN connection is still up!

THANKS!

Two questions left:
a. How to check which video driver is actually in use?

b. Any guess when we could expect the latest Broadcom driver for the
4312 chip to become available for installation through 'get-apt'?
