There are three areas in your dmesg output that attracted my attention: ACPI: BIOS bug: multiple APIC/MADT found, using 0 ACPI: If "acpi_apic_instance=2" works better, notify [email protected] Have you tested this boot parameter? Later there is this output: pci 0000:00:1c.0: BAR 7: can't allocate resource pci 0000:00:1c.0: BAR 8: can't allocate resource pci 0000:00:1c.1: BAR 7: can't allocate resource pci 0000:00:1c.1: BAR 8: can't allocate resource pci 0000:00:1c.2: BAR 7: can't allocate resource pci 0000:00:1c.2: BAR 8: can't allocate resource pci 0000:06:00.0: BAR 0: can't allocate resource and later: b43-pci-bridge 0000:06:00.0: device not available because of BAR 0 [0x000000-0x003fff] collisions b43-pci-bridge: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -22 So, the BAR problem is preventing ssb from loading, thus b43 cannot function. If the "acpi_apic_instance=2" option does not fix the problem, then you need to post this problem on the Linux Kernel Mailing List. The bottom line is that a BIOS error is likely the problem with BAR allocation on your machine. Have you checked to see if an updated one is available?
