Theoretically, the firmware that Just Works (tm) is this one:
http://drinus.net/airport/wl_apsta.o
Please try it if you didn't.

This is interesting. Please subscribe to the development mailing list
(http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev) and submit your
reports there, as there are more people who can help you debugging. I'm
posting this message with your oops report there.

No, as we don't have such a board. Take a look at this thread:
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2006-March/thread.html#1429
basically, my patchset does the same things the patch posted in this thread
does, plus some fixes which came up from new specs.
