Linus: is this possible for you to give b43 a chance? It has to be compiled with B43_BCMA B43_PHY_N Unfortunately you have to install firmware manually to get b43 working :( Howto is located at: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 ("Install b43-fwcutter" and "If you are using the b43 driver from 3.2 kernel or newer:"). b43 doesn't re-init bus devices, so this test will check if bcma is OK or not.
That probably will require blacklisting brcmsmac for a moment to prevent bcma auto-loading it. Testing from cold-boot is recommended. -- Rafał
