It hangs very quickly. Most often, it hangs when starting up wpa_supplicant and gives the following stack trace: Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: Call Trace: Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8824e159>] :b43:b43_lo_g_adjust_to+0x66/0x71 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8824e646>] :b43:lo_measure_restore+0xd4/0x360 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8824f90b>] :b43:b43_lo_g_measure+0x1039/0x1078 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8824b7da>] :b43:b43_phy_initg+0xad2/0xd10 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8824c1c6>] :b43:b43_phy_init+0x582/0x5a7 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8823ff3a>] :b43:b43_chip_init+0x69e/0x9b5 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff882404ef>] :b43:b43_wireless_core_init+0x29e/0x7bb Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8824155a>] :b43:b43_add_interface+0x5f/0xf4 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8819a7ca>] :mac80211:ieee80211_open+0x23f/0x370 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff812446f9>] wext_handle_ioctl+0x354/0x39d Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff811e05d1>] dev_open+0x2f/0x6e Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff811de799>] dev_change_flags+0x5a/0x118 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8122299f>] devinet_ioctl+0x235/0x597 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8124bf6e>] do_page_fault+0x476/0x7b4 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff811d40f7>] sock_ioctl+0x1c8/0x1e5 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8109f8f7>] do_ioctl+0x2b/0xb6 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8109fbc5>] vfs_ioctl+0x243/0x25c Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff8109fc37>] sys_ioctl+0x59/0x7a Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: [<ffffffff81009cd5>] tracesys+0xd5/0xda Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: Adjusting Local Oscillator to an uncalibrated control pair: rfatt=3,no-padmix bbat t=0 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: bbatt(11) >= size of LO array Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: Adjusting Local Oscillator to an uncalibrated control pair: rfatt=3,no-padmix bbat t=0 Sep 20 21:40:36 c211-30-70-23 kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: Adjusting Local Oscillator to an uncalibrated control pair: rfatt=3,no-padmix bbat This was using the existing firmware that I had ( from the latest broadcomm winxp driver from HP's website for my specific model of notebook ). This firmware never caused a crash on the previous kernel ... so why would it cause one now ? Regards, John
