The error didn't occur in first place. It started with a failed wake up from suspend (maybe related to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=674245 ). After that crash, the device causes the system to freeze, even when used from a clean environment (OpenSUSE 11.4 RC2 Live CD). Hardware is a BCM4313 (14e4:4727) on Hewlett Packard HP 625 WT146EA#ABD Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Fix symlinks to Firmware (11.4 RC2) and reload module brcm80211 2.Try suspend/wake up until crash 3.Boot the system and try to activate wireless network Actual Results: System freeze Expected Results: Activate wireless This bug in Debian sounds identical, but the recommended workaround has no effect: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/17078 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/808963/comments/0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-03-03T19:44:40+00:00 Gregkh wrote: This driver is still under heavy development. I just got one of these devices and will work next week to get it working properly in openSUSE 11.4, until then, it's going to be rough going, sorry.

The problem is just that the brcm40211 driver is too unstable. A wordaround is to blaclist the brcm40211 driver in order to reactivate the broadcom-wl driver (as at current stage, the wl driver is much more usable) procedure are as follows: goto directory /etc/modprobe.d cat find the file 50-blacklist.conf add blacklist brcm80211 to the end of the file ---------------------------------------- this has solved the problem for me on opensuse 11.4 GM Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/808963/comments/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-07-13T19:54:07+00:00 mseben wrote: I have the same problem with brcm80211 module in 11.4 release, I also tested latest 12.1 rc2 release with no success (in 12.1 is used brcmsmac module instead of brcm80211) how to reproduce: -boot up openSUSE-GNOME-LiveCD-Build0072-x86_64.iso -connect to wifi AP using wpa2 -start downloading some large file e.g. opensuse live CD -system completely freeze ... output from lspci,hwinfo,dmesg and lsmod attached Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/808963/comments/11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-07-13T19:57:47+00:00 mseben wrote: Created an attachment (id=439772) dmesg from LiveCD-Build0072-x86_64 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/808963/comments/12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-07-13T19:58:26+00:00 mseben wrote: Created an attachment (id=439773) lsmod from LiveCD-Build0072-x86_64 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/808963/comments/13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-07-13T19:59:18+00:00 mseben wrote: Created an attachment (id=439775) lspci and hwinfo from LiveCD-Build0072-x86_64 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/808963/comments/14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-07-14T06:40:49+00:00 Tommy_CZ wrote: Same problem here, on Acer Aspire One 722 with bcm4313, same situation with brcm80211 as with wl driver. Blacklisting doesn't help, situation in Ubuntu 11.04 is the same, it probably occurs in Arch and Fedora too. I am really mad of it, because it force me to use Windows 7 on my netbook.

BUT you are without wired connection. If you need it, just run "modprobe atl1c" in terminal. This bug still IS NOT solved, it is just a bad workaround (it works in OpenSuse and also in Ubuntu.
