Thanks Larry, what about the part right there at the endwher it says assume out of range when nothing has moved. It's like the receeption begins to drop of until it can no longer support the connection.

You know, it has occurred to me that it might not be b43 that's causing the problem. It might be the firmware. On a whim, I tried to cut firmware out of bcmwl5.sys, the driver that has always worked with this device and b43-fwcutter wouldn't cut it. As I remember, the version that worked with bcm43xx had about a dozen firmwares it would use, the new one only has about four. What do you suppose might happen if I massaged teh code for bw43-fwcutter to accept teh firmware I want to use?

I don't see any "disturbing" messages in your log. The martian source lines arise because you have IPV6 enabled. The DROP-DEFLT messages come from your firewall. An occasional PHY transmission error can be ignored.
