Sorry to add so many messages to this thread, just wanted to give an update, and hopefully, and more knowledgable soul can help
I added these three lines to blacklist.conf blacklist ssb blacklist b43 blacklist b43-pci-bridge It still hangs on boot. I eventually was able to get it to boot with enough tries. lsmod | grep b43 Shows nothing ... but ssb is still running. During the boot it still hangs at the same normal place (when it does most times). The most recent reboot the mouse is working ... not sure why this time, and not others. And the latest is ......... I installed the STA drivers from broadcom and the machine came up with no problems. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the wireless working. I have a valid wpa_supplicant.conf file, When I run wpa_supplicant -dd it just keeps timing out and attempting the scan again. I noticed with the new drivers that my interface is now eth1 for the wireless card, and not wlan0. The big difference I've found is that I don't seem to be able set the essid, whenever I run iwconfig it also shows the essid as empty, no matter how many times I run "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <name>" Has anyone else seen that or know what the problem might be? FOR UBUNTU NEWBS like me ... in order to install the sta drivers 'sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-common' or, at least in netbook remix I found a dialog accessable from the main status bar through an icon at the top right. It's not there now though after a reboot. It brought up a Proprietary Drivers dialog though that enabled me to select the broadcom sta driver, and some others, I chose the NVIDIA ION driver too. I'll get around to testing that later. I believe you can get the same dialog through System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers Oh, and the mouse is still working! lol. -- HP Mini 311 - Does not always boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479597 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
