I tried Larry Finger's advice above (with 'break=top') and then blacklisting ssb whilst trying to install ubuntu. It did not work. It still hangs during boot with
b43legacy-phy0: Broadcom 4303 WLAN found I also tried blacklisting b43legacy, b43, b44 and any other combination I could think of. Still no success. I get the feeling that blacklisting does not work? $ sudo lspci -nn|grep Broad 00:0c.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4303 802.11b Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4301] (rev 02) $ sudo ndiswrapper -l bcmwl5 : driver installed device (14E4:4301) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) It works fine in gentoo using ndiswrapper. Any ideas what to do next? -- Loading b43legacy freezes computer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192720 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
