       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
On wakeup, sometimes, my powerbook freezes at this line:

PCI Enabling device 0001:10:12.0 (0000 -> 0002)

from lspci:
0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03).

Using the latest bcm43xx drivers in Dapper with my firmware from
AppleAirport2.

I looked at bug 8675 but I think this is different.  It only happens
sometimes and in that bug the cause appears to be ATI drivers, not
network drivers.

I think the bug tends to happen when I've been using my wireless card in
range of a certain access point, put it to sleep, and then wake it up
out of range of that access point.

I'm only working from 3 or 4 crashes, though, and imprecise memory of
what lead up to them.
