I found and fixed this problem several months ago, but after the 2.6.24 window closed. > 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan > mini-PCI (rev 02) The problem is fixed in the wireless-testing.git tree, and in mainline 2.6.25. It is unlikely that it is causing the boot problem; however that could be checked by trying 2.6.25. Larry
