Binary package hint: hal

Boot Gutsy 8.04 beta on a laptop. Laptop hangs with progress bar frozen.

Boot laptop again, at option screen press F6 delete quiet and change splash to nospash to show boot details.

User will see: [142.93849] b43legacy-phy0:Broadcom 4301 WLAN found

as the final boot message when machine hangs.

Dismantle laptop and remove Broadcom mini-PCI card. Laptop boots normally with 8.04 CD.

Broadcom card is known working with Windows XP, and card does not prevent 7.10 cd from booting.

The test machine is a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 800Mhz P3 I815 chipset.
