Hi,
Just a heads up to all users of broadcom-wl: a lot of people (myself included) have been reporting kernel panics at boot time after upgrade to current version, so if you're planing to upgrade, be sure to have a live cd around to chroot into your system. There are still no known workarounds other than blacklisting the wl module (thus disabling wireless board) or removing the package.

Good luck! Vitor
Or just blacklist the module from the kernel cmdline via "modprobe.blacklist=wl".
Kind of what I said (less verbosely).
It appears to be a race condition that's triggered when its loaded by udev during bootstrap. Loading it afterwards (either from rc.local or manually) doesn't trigger the panic.
It does for me.
No need to freak out.
My point exactly. Cheers
