Sorry about the confusion. I forgot that my copy of wireless-2.6 had some
changes that are not yet
in the official version. The proper patch to apply to wireless-2.6 for testing
is:
diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_main.c
b/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_main.c
index 966815b..904ebd7 100644
--- a/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_main.c
+++ b/drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_main.c
@@ -3151,7 +3151,6 @@ static void bcm43xx_periodic_work_handle
* be preemtible.

netif_stop_queue(bcm->net_dev);
- synchronize_net();
spin_lock_irqsave(&bcm->irq_lock, flags);
bcm43xx_mac_suspend(bcm);
if (bcm43xx_using_pio(bcm))
