[Nix-dev] broadcom driver

[Sander van der Burg - EWI]

It turned out yesterday that my Broadcom 4359 wireless network card didn't work with NixOS, due to missing firmware. After doing some experiments, it looks like the latest broadcom-sta driver works with this model.

The current Nix expression tries to apply a mutex-sema patch for kernel versions earlier than 2.6.37. This patch does not work with the latest driver version and I'm not using such an old kernel version anymore.

Is it ok for me to drop the patch?
