HP 2133--Device freezes when connected to WLAN

I have successfully installed Devuan on my HP 2133 laptop.
I have installed the firmware-b43-installer package to use WLAN. However, the device freezes when a WLAN access point is connected and I forced it to shut down. Wired Ethernet (including USB) can be used without freezing. I have read pages on the Debian wiki about HP2133 and b43 blob, but I cannot find a solution. The pages don't say anything about this problem.
How can I solve this problem? How do I connect to WLAN without freezing?
