Comment 17 for bug 190298

Same problem. Dell Inspiron 8200. I updated to the latest Hardy available today (4-22). If b43legacy is blacklisted I can boot, but modprob'ing b43legacy freezes the computer. I don't see how blacklisting the module can be considered "Fix released" though, since I cannot use my wireless without the b43legacy module? What are all of the Dell users supposed to do when suddenly Ubuntu freezes hard on their computer after a Hardy upgrade? What if they want to use WiFi?
