BTW, broadcom-sta works fine with older 2.6 kernels.  Here is an example of
iwconfig's output with the broadcom-sta driver and 2.6.36


eth1      IEEE 802.11  ESSID:"MMM"  Nickname:""
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:AA:D1:64:DF:5B
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:24 dBm
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off

and when using 3.2.1 and brcmsmac I get
