There is one other report of the DMA problem with a non-Atom CPU (I'm not sure 
about the non-ULV part.). We do not know what the wl driver does that we do 
not, 
or vice-versa. If you want to use b43, you need to build it to use PIO only. 
Choosing PIO is now available as a run-time option, but I do not think 2.6.32 
has this feature.

Debugging this problem has been most difficult as it only affects Intel CPUs 
and 
all my machines have AMD processors.
