Bug#453482: kernel: bcm43xx does not detect wireless network on boot

["Nadav Kavalerchik" <nadavkav@gmail.com>]

sorry it took me soooooo long to check this out. :-(

i've installed 2.6.24-rc4 and it does not even boot properly.
it get stuck on so many errors about udev not able to start or load

BUT :-)
trying the 
2.6.23-1 kernel loads ok and by the time i'm logged into the KDE
desktop the internet is up and running (as it used to be)

thanks :-)
