Package: firmware-b43-installer
Version: 4.150.10.5-4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

I installed Debian testing (squeeze) minimal cd install. I'm using openbox
desktop it works great! But when went I installing
my wifi driver (bcm4312), I installed the package firmware-b43-installer using
synaptic
after reboot I got a black screen nothing shows up! I have used the firmware
driver firmware-b43-installer many times with no problem for Ubuntu minimal
install,  but in debian squeeze it won't work. I noticed when I turn my wifi
switch off the system boots to the desktop but than crashes.
I hope this gets fixed before squeeze gets released.
Sorry for my bad English!
Thank u!

I have tested Linux 2.6.39 on my HP Compaq 615 and everything now works
without problems (no freezes/crashes anymore). I'm therefore closing
this bug. Feel free to reopen if necessary.

Best regards

PS: The bug has most likely already been fixed in 2.6.38 or even 
    earlier. I didn't bother to test, but I can do so if necessary.
