The Story:
I did a new installation of Squeeze on a Compaq Presario V3019US using
kernel 2.6.30, then it came an upgrade to 2.6.32-trunk; after that my
wireless a PCI Express Minicard 802.11B/G HS - Broadcom 4311BG
suddenly died. The OS gave me a message related to eec or ecc before
it happen, and now i have a screen shaking time to time; and a message
saying that my battery could be broken.

Question:
Does kernel 2.6.32-trunk do changes to the BIOS? and if it do it, Why?
I am conscious that Squeeze is a testing version, but i want to know
exactly what is going on.

Thank in advance.

francisco

Well about this one I got something that might help. In my dell studio with a
broadcom 4312 and with the open source driver I got a fatal error and then the
card just dissappeared. In order to see it again I just shutdown the laptop,
removed the AC adaptor and the battery. Then plugged them in again and
everything was fine.

Hope it helps. :)
