[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#877575: network-manager: brcmfmac fails to load firmware

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.8.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm running Debian testing. Today I upgraded everything and wifi
stopped working. The symptoms are *identical* to the problems I
reported in: 

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=836280

which turned out to be a network-manager issue.

I have tried the workaround in:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=835553#31

but that doesn't help.
