Bad news. Just like my self-compiled 2.6.25 and 2.6.27 kernels my laptop
froze with your kernel and the wl.ko module, too. It didn't kernel panic
and it lasted significantly longer than with 2.6.18 but it still froze in
the end.
I'm back to 2.6.18-164-11-bug4139.4192.4196 now. Instead of Broadcom's
proprietary wl.ko module I'm now using bcm43xx with an extracted Broadcom
firmware that I extracted via b43-fwcutter. That one has been running
perfectly fine for the entire day now without freezing, crashing, or
anything. And both standby and hibernation seem to work just fine.
