Your card is exactly what I have. The firmware you have loaded is the very latest version that is supported by the mainline version of bcm43xx. For maximum transmit strength, you should either switch to kernel 2.6.22-rc3 of install the patch found in ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches/combined_2.6.21.patch. The changes are important. If this doesn't fix your problem, we also need to see the dmesg output from SoftMAC.
