Mark: Blacklisting modules is not enough, you have to update initramfs. See comment #13 and following.
Although I don't have HP Mini, I had the same issues with deadlocks during boot (comment #17). Karmic Koala now boots quite reliably for me on Acer AO P531h with Broadcom 4315. I did the mentioned blacklisting and updated initramfs using live USB (which booted flawlessly, unlike the fresh installation on hard disk); once I got into the system, I have installed Broadcom STA driver using Restricted Drivers Manager (in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers). Now the wifi works smoothly, NetworkManager handles it very well. So give NetworkManager a try. -- HP Mini 311 - Does not always boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479597 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
