The patch works fine on the 802.11g portion of my BCM4312/1, which 
seems to be the same as a BCM4311/1. This card has a PCIe format. I 
also tested on my PCMCIA version of a BCM4318. That card works, but 
the maximum transmit rate is only about 1/2 of what I get without it. 
The card has a rev 09 802.11 core, a rev 7 PHY, and a rev 3 analog 
part. I still have to test on a PCI format BCM4306/3 card, but I 
suspect that you have already tested the 4306.
