Title:
  11.10 shutdown delay of 1 min when using the open source Broadcom
  firmware

Status in “b43-fwcutter” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The Broadcom 4311/12 wireless chips require firmware when using the b43 driver.
  This firmware is available from Broadcom (which is put into /lib/firmware/b43)
  or as open source (which is put into /lib/firmware/b43-open).  Either firmware
  works, but when the proprietary Broadcom firmware is not present in .../b43,
  shutdown takes an extra minute, after the log file line "could not find
  .../b43/ucode5.fw".  After a minute, shutdown completes normally.
  Adding in the Broadcom firmware lets shutdown proceed without the minute
  delay.  This behavior is new with the 11.10 release.

  Note the below udev items from /var/log/udev are probably the cause of this
  problem.
