@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 bug report is about these drivers hanging on an otherwise correct installation. If you have other problems, please open a new bug report about them. Otherwise, can you provide more information about which instructions you used that caused your b43legacy module to stop producing errors and freezing?
I can report that manually downloading files and installing using b43-fwcutter results in absolutely no change for my machine. The behavior and error messages are exactly the same as with the normal, automatic method. -- [lucid] b43legacy PHY transmission error causes wireless networking to freeze or fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558950 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
