I have the same problem reported here with my HP pavillion dv6000z with AMD Turion64 X2 TL-64. and bcmwl5 with ndiswrapper for wireless.
The issue is that have to use noapic to boot otherwise it does not boot. Disabling apic start lots of irq conflicts and if i don't use irqfixup ir irqpoll, after 5 minutes the the irq's associated with usb's are disbled (that means the webcam stop working, and any hotplugable usb device is no longer detected), all usb devices connected from the begining continue to work, like my usb mouse for example. Now I use noapic irqpoll as boot options. Using irqpoll has a down side that is I can't use the nvidia restricted drivers, because the machine hangs when the display sends many irq's together (i.e. when fast displaying data).
The root of the problem is the use of noapic. I've been searching for a while and found no solution. Hope this is solved and willing to try other options.
