Awesome guys, thanks for the pointers, it worked! (i m sending this email using the b43 driver!)
I used the wireless-next git, and then additionally applied the "b43: HT-PHY: allow writing longer tables with a single call" patch. (and the ones in Rafal's last mail) Thanks for the great support and fast answers! Congratulations on hacking a driver like this together, I am impressed!
