Rather than saying "current svn", it would really help if you can state the exact revision you're using. To summarise the reports at #3510 and here, b43 seems to work on r10154, but not on r11363, r11372 or r11579. Unfortunately, I don't have a huge amount of time right now (not enough to do a full bisect between 10154 and 11363). A side note is that r11510 on my WRTSL54GS does not bus error, but equally does not scan the radio correctly. The crucial revisions to investigate around are r11358 r10742 r10755 r10951 r11462 r11347. If anyone can do some narrowing down, it would really help. Also, if you are going to help track this down, compiling the kernel with CONFIG_KALLSYMS will help, as we'll get Oops logs that contain more information about where the failure is happening.
