The critical part is the PCI ID, which is shown by the command '/sbin/lspci -nnv'. From what you posted earlier, your device has a 0x4312 code, which is fully supported. My statement above was wrong. Please post the complete output of '/sbin/lspci'. In thinking about your problem, it seems to me as if the memory mapping is being set up wrong. It looks as if the routing to the registers of the BCM43XX device are suddenly changed when X is started so that it references some completely new region. Unfortunately, your dmesg buffer has wrapped around and that part of the output has been lost. Please repost the dmesg output without starting X. The output should start with something like: BIOS EBDA/lowmem at: 0009e000/0009e000 Linux version 2.6.28-rc5-wl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036] (SUSE Linux) ) #24 SMP Mon Nov 17 18:41:45 CST 2008 Are you generating your own kernel? If so, please send me your .config file. As the amount of data I'm asking you to send is getting large, it might be best if you reply privately to me. No need to pollute everyone's mailbox. Once I have collected more information, I plan to post this problem on the Linux Kernel Mailing List. I don't think this is a problem with the b43 driver, but some kind of fatal interaction with memory management, probably due to some undetected quirk in your system.
