Hello!

I got the same error, I'm using a HP NX6110 laptop with Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 wireless card. Everything worked great in 7.10 but in hardy alpha 4 stoped. I downloaded files that error references, and manually run bcm43xx-fwcutter on wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o, but that didn't help, i get this error looping.
