FYI, in order to tell if you have the latest ndisapi, check the revision 
reported by
modinfo.  Both ndisapi and bcmndis should report version 1.2.1.  You can also 
run
powertop and if the bcmndis and/or ndisapi are the top wakeup culprits, you are
probably using the broken ndisapi.  The problem was that there was a race which
was 'fixed' by cranking up the timer interrupt rate.  Unfortunately, with faster
processors, the race occurs even more often and the impact of exercising the 
race
was to hang up for a while.  While I noticed some flakeyness prior to enabling 
nwam, 
once nwam was enabled, it became virtually unusable.  With the new ndisapi, it
is working much, much better.
