Comment 46 for bug 192720

Confirm this error on an intel-based compaq presario r3000 laptop; didn't boot, hung on boot screen with progress bar 1/5 way across; in second boot option (verbose mode or whatever it's called) card reported as 4301 and boot hung then.
Blacklisting as per pjina3's advice works (thanks pjina3!); I blacklisted both bcm43xx and b43legacy and the machine boots. Un-blacklisted bcm43xx and is didn't boot. Which is where I'm at now, actually.

Can anyone difinitively advise best course of action from here on in to enable wifi; should I wait a bit until patches are applied to the kernel, or use ndiswrapper, or what is the recommended course of action?

Thanks to those who have provided advice on this thread by the way..
