I had the above error (b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error) in
Ubuntu 10.04 and came up with the following work around to get things
working very well (as fast and reliably as in MS Windows) using
ndiswrapper. My wireless card is a BCM4306/3 (14e4 4320).
1. Temporarilty install
Still seeing the same messages in the default Maverick Meerkat kernel
(currently 2.6.35-9-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP), but I'm not noticing
significant freezing with this kernel. If anything changes through the
development cycle I'll report back here.

Now using mainline kernel 2.6.34-020634-generic (2.6.34-lucid) and the
error messages are still present, but the freezing appears to have
stopped, or freezing is at least controlled to the point that it is no
longer a noticeable problem.

Same behavior with kernel 2.6.34-rc6-lucid.
When the transmission errors start, network communication often stops
completely. This bug update, for instance, requires a wired connection
because the WiFi connection cannot transfer enough data to receive a
page from Launchpad.

I am also experiencing a 9.10 and 10.04problem with a fresh install of
Ubuntu 10.04 using the Broadcom BCM4306 (rev 2) wifi b43legacy driver
(as proposed by the Hardware Driver utility). I attempted a manual
update of the files from the
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 site (such
Actually -- strike that. After replacing the b43legacy files according
to the above instructions, the WiFi suddenly sprang into life. I'll
wander off now...

@Matthew Lewellen: the instructions at the page you referenced instruct
the user to use b43-fwcutter to download the correct firmware.
Following the alternate, manual method results in downloading exactly
the same version of the drivers that installing b43-fwcutter will
download on Ubuntu. This

Hi Scott,
If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would
be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the
upstream kernel, please remove the
It seems this was accidentally tagged regression-proposed. As there
haven't been any Lucid kernels in -proposed up to this point I'm
removing the tag. The bug description confirms this was against the
2.6.32-19.28 kernel which was a regular lucid kernel release. Thanks.

Thanks Leann.
In relation to another bug, I've been testing using Debian Squeeze with
kernel 2.6.32-3-686, and can report that this b43-legacy error also
appears in the Debian kernel.

One thing that isn't shown in the original Dmesg in the report is that I
frequently receive b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: MAC suspend failed.
