I am running it as of today - no problems so far
PS: Is there a contest now between 686 and amd64

I just confirmed it's 3.2. It isn't an automatic install on dist-upgrade yet, so I think I'll hold off putting that kernel on my netbook till the dust settles a bit.

Good morning 52. Could you take a peek inside your new kernel and tell us if it offers Broadcom support, specifically 4313, please.
Apparently Google doesn't know
Your search - does new linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae offer broadcom 4313 support - did not match any documents.

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

I tried 3.2.0 but there was no broadcom support so I had to downgrade to 2.6.39. Actually I re-installed the november release and commented out the backports repo since it was quicker than trying to find an extra lan cable in my junk drawers. This was the 64 bit version but I expect the 686 does not have the non-free drivers.

Re: linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae now in backports
First problem with new kernel:
I have
03:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)First reboot after installing the new kernel I have no wifi interface.
Reason: /lib/firmware/b43 has been removed.
Trying to install firmware-b43-installer, what I always did, says my card is not supported, I have to use
firmware-b43legacy-installer.
OK, no problem - I install firmware-b43legacy-installer: it says I have to use firmware-b43-installer.
Had to
cp -av /lib/firmware/b43
from a backup to get wireless working again.
Here are excerpts from /var/lib/dpkg/info/firmware-b43-installer.postinst
# check chip
pci=`lspci -n | grep -o "14e4:[1234567890]\+"` || true
if [ -n "$pci" ]; then
if [ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "4301" ] && \
[ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "4306" ]; then
echo "Not supported card here (PCI id $pci)!"
echo "Use b43legacy firmware."
echo "Aborting."
exit 1
elif [ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "4315" ]; then
echo "Not supported low-power chip with PCI id $pci!"
echo "Aborting."
exit 1
elif [ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "4321" ] && \
[ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "4324" ] && \
[ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "4325" ] && \
[ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "4328" ] && \
[ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "4329" ] && \
[ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" = "43b5" ]; then
echo "Not supported chip: PCI id $pci!"
echo "Aborting!"
exit 1
fi
fiand /var/lib/dpkg/info/firmware-b43legacy-installer.postinst
# check chip
pci=`lspci -n | grep -o "14e4:[1234567890]\+"` || true
if [ -n "$pci" ]; then
if [ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" != "4301" ] && \
[ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" != "4306" ] && \
[ "`echo $pci | cut -d: -f2`" != "4320" ]; then
echo "Not supported card here (PCI id $pci)!"
echo "Use b43 firmware. This is just for the b43legacy driver."
echo "Aborting."
exit 1
fi
fiSo, if you have a 4301 or 4306 you can use neither.
Be prepared, make sure you have a backup before upgrading.

Re: linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae now in backports
Installed with no problems and impressed.
Finally a working kernel with p54pci firmware drivers. I had no luck in the past with previous kernels to work with the wifi firmware cause losing connectivity and so on. I always had to install ndiswrapper for a stable connection.
Re: linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae now in backports
i have just installed the new kernel, the only problem i found, was that i could not connect to my home wifi, only when i am at my school i can connect to a wifi access point... u.u
you know how i can turn back to 2.6.39?
i cannot find it anymore at the backports T.T

The old kernel has not been removed. You should be able to boot into that kernel from the grub menu, only it will be item 3 or higher.

Re: linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae now in backports
its just that... i always purge my previous kernels T.T

...so just re-install linux-image-2.6.39-bpo.2-686-pae when you're at school...
Have you started a thread to have Dr. Xaos take a look at what's going on with kernel 3.2 and your home wifi?

Re: linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae now in backports
I just installed the new kernel by some freak accident. 
I just clicked "mark all upgrades" . I actually got worried because I noticed my HD had almost zero space when I did it. maybe 500mb. It works fine except there's this annoying issue with my mouse pointer.
EDIT : Fixed the issue with the mouse... it was the x-org driver...
So no problems yet.
