Yes, I meant linux-2.6.30.6.tazpkg. The kernel in LiveCD got
accidentally supplied with "ssb" embedded rather than as module, thus
breaking the broadcom-wl compatible wireless cards. The problem was
fixed immediately after the release. I also uploaded the working
kernel version in my directory. Recharge and upgrade slitaz should
also fix the problem.
"ssb" module should be blacklisted for these cards. In slitaz, just
by removing it form LOAD_MODULES, you kind of blacklist the module.
