Comment 15 for bug 613963

Ok, it seems that my wifi+bluetooth module is too sensitive, or the italian version of envy has some bad components inside.
Do you tried in a quiet root? Do you tried to place the pc near to your ear?
I know, it seems stupid questions but the noise that I'm observing is near 16MHz (sound frequency), so not very easy to heard.

About the wifi, yes, brcm80211 is very fast, nice and opensource, but when I used it, it crashed my pc several times. (each boot after 30min of use), in fact there is this limitation to the number of CPUs.

Now I'm using the latest 64bit wl.ko module (released in december) compiled by hand from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php, and it works great without crashes and at full speed. So just try it. (probably you will need to remove the wl debian package before install it by hand)
