udev hangs at boot when modules requiring firmware are to be loaded (wireless)
Disabling the wireless switch until after boot is how I've worked around this (the switch cuts power to all wireless modules so they simply aren't seen)

Without mentioning the wireless driver in question, this bug report is useless. Are you trying to load the wifi driver it from the initramfs? Are you using testing? sysvinit? systemd?

I'm under the impression it's the intel wifi driver but I am not sure of the module name. It's for a Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN card if that helps. I am not using testing. sysvinit is version 2.88-3, systemd is not installed unless it goes by a different name.

Leaving this open while you figure out if its wifi, bluetooth, or aliens.
