Since I've upgraded broadcom driver I'm getting strange issues. Sometimes system boots just fine, other times it hangs waiting for modules, other times it crashes (preempt_smp oops and often prints something regarding wl driver), other times again it crashes just after trying to load net.lo, and other times again it crashes during netmount. Here are some lines I've been able to collect: Jul 5 01:59:20 whitebox wl: module license 'MIXED/Proprietary' taints kernel.

I've double checked this thing again and I can confirm that lastest drivers are so bugged. I've re-upgraded to r2 and I got the same crash on the next reboot. Downgrading to r1 fixes all the problems. May this could be related to net_devices stack introduced in last kernel release?
masked 5.10.91.9-r2.
broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r3 in cvs. could you test it?
Just tried to install it. It does not work. Same problem reported above (kernel oops and bitching about NULL pointer dereference). I tested it with gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r2 (same kernel, same configuration as my first post in this bug)
I am having the same problem, also with net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r1 and gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r2. For me, the kernel crashes while starting udev. Here is the error I get: * Populating /dev with existing devices through uevents... [ ok ] * Waiting for uevents to be processed...

sorry, typo, I meant net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r3, net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r1 works just fine.
Yes. When loading udev initscript there's the kernel oops you posted above. Then the system tries to continue but when comes to load net.lo it fatally crashes.
(In reply to comment #2) > masked 5.10.91.9-r2. > r5 gives the same problems (but it's unmasked so far). I tried on my friend's laptop and it crashes on boot on kernel 2.6.30-r4
I have the following here: 2.6.29-gentoo-r6 + broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r5 = works 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 without broadcom-sta = works 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 + broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r5 = crash during startup
I think the current setup is completely wrong. Since the stable version of kernel is 2.6.30, someone new that needs these drivers would get serious problems. I think should be time to stabilize -r1 or to hard mask this non-working version. I hope someone fix this quickly

I agree... I forgot -r1 in my list - so here again: 2.6.29-gentoo-r6 + broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r5 = works 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 without broadcom-sta = works 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 + broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r1 = works 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 + broadcom-sta-5.10.91.9-r5 = crash during startup
5.10.91.9-r6 in cvs now. Its based on 5.10.91.9-r1. Could you test it?

I had these very annoying bugs too with r5. I'm using kernel 2.6.31-rc4, and it seems it works with r6 !
fixed in cvs.
