"[T]he innovations in digital signal processing architectures pioneered at UCLA and Broadcom persist in the digital modems that enable both wired and wireless communications in our devices. For these advances, along with contributions to expanding science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, [Henry] Samueli is the recipient of the 2025 IEEE Medal of Honor."

IEEE Spectrum · This Man Made the Modem in Your Phone a RealityVon Tekla S. Perry

On two ThinkPad/AMD Laptops with Broadcom WiFi adapter (ath11k_pci driver), I had serious issues with system hangs when WiFi was connecting and on resume from sleep (s2idle) in Fedora 42 with Linux kernel 6.14.2.

I Created a BugZilla entry and reported the issue to Fedora Bodhi. Several people reported the same issues there.

Now Linux 6.14.3 arrived in Fedora testing and resolved both issues :-) Now everything works without issues again!

Awesome work!

I don't know you, but if I were a customer for that product, I'd most probably start migration projects today.
