Bug Description
This is a known bug in the bcm43xx code that has apparently been fixed in the latest 2.6.17 kernels, however the problem is still present in Edgy.
(ndiswrapper does not work either - but I'd rather get the native driver working anyway)
As a side note, I must remove the "ohci1394" module or dmesg gets constantly flooded with
APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)
With the firmware in /lib/firmware the kernel crashes with a "softlock on CPU#0"
If there is any further information I can provide to assist, please ask.

The machine now locks up occasionally with irqpoll boot option, so for the time being I have turned that off and I now get flooded with the following in dmesg:
