Hi,
I'm testing new b43 modules for my 14e4:4315 broadcom card.
I've compiled and installed compat-wireless-2009-09-16 in a debian
machine with kernel version 2.6.30-6.
During the boot I experience this problem:
$ dmesg|egrep "b43|ssb"

I faced the exactly same issue as Mauro did. +1 from me, but currently have
no time to take a deeper look.
Thanks
Hi,
I had the same problem with the ssb module and compat-wireless in ubuntu
9.04. The problem is that the ssb module is integrated into the
initramfs image. The version out of the initramfs image is loaded on
startup and not the version of compat-wireless. Running "sudo
update-initramfs -u" after installing compat-wireless and restaing the
system fixes the problem for me. Either Debian/Ubuntu should remove ssb
form default initramfs image or compat-wireless should update the image
with the install command. At least the compat-wireless documentation
needs an update.

Tim, do you guys update the initramfs upon installation of lbm? If a
user does not use lbm and uses compat-wireless I suppose we need to do
something similar.

All:
I have a large group that uses the ssb module along with the Broadcom
4318, in a CF form factor. If the CF card is inserted before boot, and
the ssb module is not in the initrd process, the laptops lock up and do
not become operational. The solution to this problem is/was adding the
ssb.ko to the initrd process. So I agree with Luis on this, the ssb
module will have to be added/updated to the initrd process. As for PCI
operations, I don't know, but for PCMCIA operations ssb.ko has to be
added and/or updated. Anytime I am testing new releases of b43, I run
"update-initramfs -u" to update the ssb module. (Sometimes you can do a
rmmod ssb and rmmod b43, and then modprobe them back in. - This saves a
reboot)
