Hi.
I'd like to confirm the issue with the Asus-based bcm4318 card as
already described in full length above. Some details follow, but nothing
new which has not already been told.
Using a fresh installation of Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 on a Dell Inspiron 531.

knetworkmanager now recognizes the card as eth1 and is able to associate with
my AP (using WPA and everything).
Adding bcm43xx to /etc/modules does not resolve the issue during startup, I
have to load the module by hand after the boot process in order to get it
working. Seems to relate to the Asus hacks which Anmar talks about in
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182716/comments/80
Comment 80] and the possible workaround modprobe'ing b43 in between and the
using bcm43xx to get the card working at all.
