I have a BCM4312 rev 01 (14e4:4315) card in my HP Mini netbook.  I am 
having troubles connecting to any WEP secured AP.

I know the trick about having to load with pio=1 for the device to stay 
happy (and forget about using DMA), so no issues there, I hope.

With qos=1 (by default, IIRC), I am unable to establish a connection 
with said WEP connection, and notice many 'PHY transmission error' 
messages in my dmesg output.

With qos=1, I can successfully connect to my WEP connection without 
issue, and without any error messages or warnings.

I have a BCM4318 rev 02 (14e4:4318) in a desktop that works with 
enabled/disabled qos not matter what.  Also, a RT2500-based card works 
fine on the connection as well.

Both card are using the 478.104 firmware.

Please advise what steps I should take to further debug this issue.

Thanks,
John Daiker
