Broadcom driver hard locks on boot

[Mark Bidewell]

When I attempt to install Ubuntu/Kubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 on a laptop with a b43 miniPCI wireless card, then system hard locks on boot when attempting to load the network drivers. Using the alternate installer I can install but the resulting install will not boot with the same problem. Removing the miniPCI card allows the system to boot. I attempted to install the b43-firmware-installer it did not appear to fix the problem. Neither did fully updating the system.

I just found another bug covering this here:
