Thought I'd post my workaround for the issue I've been experiencing. My
setup is as follows: Ubuntu 9.10 x86 and a BCM4318 in AP mode. Briefly,
I'd see a message in the logs about hardware encryption being disabled,
at which point my NIC would stop beaconing. Apparently turning off QoS
support remedies this problem. Putting this line into /etc/modules made
my wireless usable:
b43 qos=0
Obviously, QoS support is preferable to not, but I don't really need it
for my SOHO needs. Hopefully this will help someone else.

Hi Eric. So, if I'm not wrong, you successfully connected to a wi-fi
ad-hoc network with BCM4318 and Ubuntu 9.10. I tried with my Acer 5024
with CM4318 without success (if you want you can take a look at my
thread "Broadcom BCM4318 AirForceOne issue - Ubuntu 9.10 on Acer
Aspire 5024wlmi"). Are you using a laptop too? What's your wifi
adapter model?
