I to am working on project using openWrt and the BCM5354, and we too

However I have been testing the 2.6 with wireless compat (b43)
I was about to log an trac issues with openWrt today, but I
saw this post so I thought that would add my bit here as well.
I can confirm that It works flawlessly in client mode. However It fails
in AP mode.
There are 2 types of errors that I encounter. NOTE: these problems do
not appear in STA mode. I have been using STA mode for over a month -
all day. I am currently working on another issue, but once I have that
solved I was going to start on this. But in the mean time I DO have
the resources and the time to test anything that anyone may suggest.
and if I find a solution I will obviously be posting it back here.
In AP mode the time it takes for the following errors to occur varies -
sometimes it will run for 1/2 day OK. others it
fails almost immediately - but mostly it is unusable
--------------ERROR 1----------------
b43-phy0 ERROR: DMA RX buffer too small (len: 64653, buffer: 2352,
nr-dropped: 28)
Hm, the length looks like a negative number (-884). I don't see why the
firmware should report negative length, however. May also be a simple
integer underflow for whatever reason.
In any case, I think the firmware probably died and responds with crap.
Which would also explain the suspend failures.
b43-phy0 ERROR: MAC suspend failed
b43-phy0 ERROR: MAC suspend failed
Are there any LP specific hostflags that need to be set in AP mode?
