Scot,
I heard back from the people at linuxant.com and they said that they were aware of the situation that the broadcom driver would not load if you have > 1 G in your machine. On r3000z, there is one person who points out that the system does work correctly at 1 G ... so I'd suggest dropping down to that mark and trying again.
My problem is that the r3000z is one of them new-fangled laptops that hides one of the memory slots "inside" -- which means this evening I will be pulling out a saw and blowtorch to open it up to pull the 512 M and replace it with 1 G.

Hey Scot,
Yeah -- there's a couple of us who are having serious problems on the r3000 list :)
I asked this AM if anyone had gotten it to work with > 1 G memory and no one seems to be able to ...
I'm sending a dump file to support@xxxxxxxxxxxx (dldrconfig --dumpdiag) ... would you mind doing the same?

I have put that box into production at the moment.
And when I was working on this the system would freeze solid. Not sure I could get a dump off of it in that state. This was not a typical kernel panic, the system literally locked solid, no console, keyboard, or network access at all.
Would happen when I tried to do a iwconfig or go into the network gui
configuration tool.
I assume that if you reduce the amount of memory that it will load properly?
