Description:
In my Asus 1015pn, the wireless card (bcm 4313) works perfectly with kernel 2.6.39, but in latest kernel it will be "blocked".

Additional info:
* package version(s)
linux-3.0.1-1

* config and/or log files etc.
These are the most relevant message, afaict:

brcmutil: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
brcmsmac: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
eeepc_laptop: BIOS says wireless lan is blocked, but the pci device is present
eeepc_laptop: skipped wireless hotplug as probably inappropriate for this model

Steps to reproduce:
1- install linux package
2- reboot
   dmesg-linux26.txt.zip (13 KiB)
   dmesg-linux30.txt.zip (12.6 KiB)
   lspci-linux26.txt.zip (1.5 KiB)
This task depends upon

I heard from #archlinux, that you need to blacklist bcma in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
