Don't have a SIGSEV as far as i know... But similar problems after
updates (Hardy beta amd64).

The problem: WLAN does not work with network-manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu2

Hardware: Broadcom 4311 WLAN on a HP nc8430
Software: b43-fwcutter and network-manager

The problem appears when enabling wireless after disconnecting LAN or
when connecting to another WLAN or when choosing a wireless network from
nm-applet (it finds existing WLANs). Network-manager accepts the
passwords & WLAN security settings. Problem begins when pressing
"connect":

The animated "balls" (nm-applet) keep animating (trying to connect) but stay 
grey (no green).
Alternatively, the signal strength bars appear immediately without the animated 
balls appearing first. The bars remain grey.

Network-manager ceases at this point to respond to any controls: manual
wlan switch, trying to switch to another network (wlan or lan), ticking
off the boxes (network, wireless) on nm-applet, trying to kill nm
through system administration program.

The connection does not work, the adapter doen not get an IP address, it
seems to keep keep negotiating/waiting (for the network key?)
indefinitely. The processor is also getting hot at this point, until
rebooting. Some process gets into a loop presumably.

With network-manager 0.6.6-0ubuntu1 everything worked as expected.
Solution to problem so far: everything started working as expected immediately 
when downgrading back to 0.6.6-0ubuntu1

The files for working and non-working cases are attached.
In the non-working case the listings have been taken with nm/wlan trying to 
make a connection.
In the working scenario the listings havve been taken with wlan connected.
