Bug#482153: linux-image-2.6-686: Driver b43 fails to recover from hibernate
Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.24+13
Severity: normal
The b43 driver on Broadcom BCM4306 wireless hardware does not work properly
after resuming from hibernate. This is happening since the latest kernel
update. The wireless functionality is present in the GNOME network applet, but
no access points/networks are seen.
Attempting to rmmod and then modprobe b43 results in the machine hard-locking,
requiring a power reset (Alt-SysRq doesn't work).
The following error messages are seen (before trying rmmod+modprobe):
