Broadcom BCM4312 Causing Kernel Panic?

I have a Dell D630 laptop, and it's been freezing rather often, with both the capslock and scroll lock LEDS blinking. The thing is, it only seems to freeze when I'm using wireless. When I have my D630 on my docking station using the wired connection, I never have it freeze. Is it possible the BCM4312 module with the broadcom-wl driver from AUR may be causing this issue? I would love to get this fixed but I don't know what to do. I might even consider buying a different wireless card for it if it will make a difference and the one that's in it can't be stable but I'd rather only do that if there is no other way.

The blinking problem maybe be solved if you reseating your RAM securely in their slots.
Btw, it's weird that only with wireless you get this problem.

The memory tests good, though. Are we certain the wireless card driver isn't to blame?

Do you have another system to test?
