    Miles,

    If you have time, please cd to the kernel root directory and run the
    command 'objdump -d -l drivers/net/wireless/b43/dma.o > dmadump'. You
    may have to install the objdump package. In the file dmadump, find the
    line that contains b43_dma_mapping_error. On my system it is
    0000000000000085 <b43_dma_mapping_error>: Note, I use x86_64 and yours
    will likely be different.

    Note the address (0x85 in my case), add the offset (0x16) and find the
    line with the error. You can use KCalc in hexadecimal mode if you are
    not comfortable with doing addition in base 16. Please report the
    source line and instruction that failed.

    Larry
