Subject: BCM43224: 00:00:00:00:00:00 address (3.2.0-rc3-00099-g883381d)

Hello,

just received another version of the macbook air, which is
labeled MacBookAir4,2 again.

This time I'm on Linus' 3.2.0-rc3-00099-g883381d and cannot
use the integrated wifi:

[23:43] brief:drivers# ip l show wlan0 
2: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[23:43] brief:drivers# ip l s wlan0 up
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address

It seems this time b43 is responsible for the card, not brcmsmac
anymore (superseeded it seems).

Is there a working tree out there somewhere? :-)

Cheers,

Nico
