you missed the point Mark, I think Ignacio pointed out that the bcm43xx
driver didnt work too well.

my experience, on centos-5, is similar. bcm43xx works fine if I set the
rate to 11M, once the network connects, i can then turn it back upto 54M
and it tends to stay connected. I just found it easier to leave the
network at 11M permanently and things justwork.
