Title:
  [lucid] b43legacy PHY transmission error causes wireless networking to
  freeze or fail

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Broadcom BCM4306 (rev 2) wifi using the b43legacy module periodically
  freezes temporarily or even completely fails.  Checking dmesg shows
  "b43legacy-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error" often dozens or
  hundreds of times.

  These failures don't seem to be caused by any particular activity, and
  aren't even triggered by heavy network usage.  The errors can begin
  when the network is almost idle or when it's under light or heavy
  usage.  Once the errors appear, wireless networking either freezes for
  a few seconds to a few minutes, or alternately completely fails.
