Please post the error messages in-line. It is a real pain to have to create a 
file to see the errors. If you cannot do that, then name the attached file 
xxxx.txt. That way I can see it inline.

It will not help. For all the others reading this list, the error message is the 
old, familiar

b43-phy0 ERROR: Fatal DMA error: 0x00000800, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 
0x00000000, 0x00000000
b43-phy0 ERROR: This device does not support DMA on your system. It will now be 
switched to PIO.
b43-phy0: Controller RESET (DMA error) ...

If you had done any searching at all, you would have seen this error discussed 
many, many times. We do not yet have a fix. If you load b43 with the options 
"pio=1 qos=0 nohwcrypt=1" b43 will then work. No I do not know how to input 
those options on your system.
