Bug#392065: linux-image-2.6.18-1-powerpc: System crash after a "bcm43xx: Controller restarted"
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-powerpc
Version: 2.6.18-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
When I'm using this kernel on a notebook (iBook G4) with WPA-encrypted wifi network working fine until I lose wifi
connection and a few seconds later I can't do nothing because the system is frozen.
After reboot the system in the syslog I found these lines just before the syslogd: restart
