Upgrading kernel from 2.6.34.1 to 2.6.34.2 breaks my ethernet connection. I get dhcp timeouts but no errors in the logs regarding the kernel or the card.

There are no changes to b44.c in patch-2.6.34.2. Perhaps you could generate the dmesg logs for 2.6.34.1 and 2.6.34.2 and run `diff -u' against them, see if anything interesting pops out?

There's nothing obvious to me in the logs.
However, it looks like it may be related to the ssb issues affecting b43.

There are reports of my card working with 2.6.35 so I will upgrade to that version.
