We had a complaint that a change in the V3 specs broke a BCM4306/rev 2 card using bcm43xx - it 
received but did not transmit. I verified the breakage and found that reverting a patch fixed the 
problem. I contacted Joseph, who found that he had mixed the branches when doing the specs.

This morning, I found that bcm43xx-mac80211 has the same problem. I have not yet asked Joseph to 
recheck the specs; however, the patch I submitted allows my phy->rev == 1 card to work. Without it, 
it does not. I think there is an error in the specs in that place.
