I've just done a minimal CLI reinstall (raring mini.iso) on my Mini 311c with Broadcom wireless (BCM43x) (observed previously but worked around with 5.100).

Installing laptop-mode-tools after installing bcmwl-kernel-source triggers a panic; this is repeatable (and leaves dpkg in an unusable state, every attempt to 'dpkg --configure -a' causes a panic when laptop-mode-tools is configured).

Are there new (e.g.) power saving functions in the kernel that could be causing this bug?
