Somebody in the thread at some point said:
Hi,
1) I have decided to turn off wireless for awhile ( troubleshooting on
the new kernel, as the new kernel seems to hang, etc.. ):
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
# Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 UART
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=no
< ... snip ...>
Also decided to delete the wireles firmware files for my device (
bcm43xx ) from /lib/firmware.
Leave the firmware, defeat the driver module loading instead. In
/etc/modprobe.conf
install b43 /bin/true
