Comment 84 for bug 192720

I must confirm the problem described by chongma above (2008-05-17) for Hardy Heron with kernel (2.6.24-19) on a HP Pavilion zv5000 (internal Broadcom bcm4303 wireless card):

When using the b43legacy with ssb and the firmware extracted by b43-fwcutter, the laptop does not freeze, but shows the behaviour following behaviour: The b43legacy module loads fine. The card lights up and it finds access points but cannot seem to connect. This happens both to encrypted aswell to unencrypted networks.

The laptop freezes, on the other hand, when using ndiswrapper. I manually deactivated the b43, b43legacy and ssb modules. The freeze occours right when modprobing ndiswrapper.

As for now I have reverted back to the 2.5.22-14 which works fine with ndiswrapper.
