** Description changed:

- Steps to reproduce:
+ The bcmwl driver is causing kernel panics throughout the system running
+ the3.8 kernel. The panic can be reproduced in multiple ways, including:
  
- 1. Begin Ubuntu user session with Unity
- 2. Open Terminal and run: sudo iwconfig
+ 1. Running "sudo iwconfig" (every time)
+ 2. Resuming from suspend (occasionally)
+ 3. Trying to report a bug from apportcheckresume
  
- After doing this, the end result varies--either the entire screen is
- replaced by a terminal window showing the kernel error, or the Unity
- session appears to continue but all running windows stop responding and
- the computer cannot be restarted from Unity (need to use power button on
- laptop).
+ The resuming from suspend case appears to be related to a wpa_supplicant
+ error, where the kernel complains that wpa_ctrl_open is not a command.
+ Each kernel panic looks exactly like the one I have attached. In every
+ case, Xorg stops responding (in the resume case, the laptop gets stuck
+ on a black screen with a command line cursor) and the machine must be
+ forcibly powered off.
+ 
+ Connecting to networks works perfectly fine, at both 802.11g and n
+ speeds. If none of the above commands are invoked, the driver operates
+ the network card without an issue.
  
  My laptop has the BCM4331 wireless card and it's being managed by the wl
  driver. When running sudo iwconfig, I was connected to an auto-mode
  802.11b/g/n router (I believe I was connected via wireless-N because the
  link speed shown was 144 Mbps).
