现象
升级Archlinux,发现b43-firmware和Linux kernel 3.2不兼容。
这将导致无法使用无线网络,详细的错误信息如下:
# pacman -Syu
...
b43-firmware: need linux <3.2
Error: Failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
#
仔细研究发现,这个问题已经在b43-firmware的AUR中发现,详见
archlinux.org的AUR。
此问题在2012-1-12日发现,原因为:
Please note that the "b43-firmware-latest" PKGBUILD incorrectly lists Linux < v3.2 as a dependency.
至2012-1-13,此问题已被解决,如下:

Based on this new information, I've removed the versioned dependency. You are now free to use this older firmware with the Linux v3.2 in 'testing'.
解决办法
下载新的b43-firmware的PKGBUILD,并重装即可。
