Screen 'hangs' after 19.1 update

Install Fedora 19.1 (XFCE spin 64b) on a Samsung netbook, Atom N550.
Everything looks good. Run 'yum update', take a break while it runs through
786 operations. Reboot.
LIttle F appears in the center of the screen and fills in. Screen goes to text
mode and announces:
brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcms_ops_config: change-powersave-mode: false (implement)
(timestamps delided)
and hangs. The only input that does anything is CTL-ALT-DEL, which reboots
system and repeats above. Happens for updated kernel boot, old kernel boot,
and rescue boot.
So, reboot and wait ten minutes. Suddenly, the screen saver unlocker appears.
I enter my password, and up pops Fedora as if nothing had happened.
Quick check of dmesg shows the above announcement near the very end (last 12
lines of dmesg):

Anybody got a clue what's going on?
