Loading the b43legacy driver causes a hard lockup. Magic-sysreq-key doesn't
work, I have to power cycle.
I already tried removing the firmware to see if the lockup is related to the
firmware, but loading the driver still causes a crash, even when there's no
firmware to load :)
Loading the b43 (no legacy driver) has no effect at all (as expected).
According to http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
b43legacy is the right driver to use.
