There may be a problem with the revision 8 PHY. AFAIK, the patches for that are not in 2.6.18.2. Strictly speaking, those changes are a feature enhancement and are not eligble to be added to -stable. >> bcm43xx: Detected Radio: ID: 2205017f (Manuf: 17f Ver: 2050 Rev: 2) >> bcm43xx: Radio turned off >> bcm43xx: Radio turned off >> SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at: >> net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate() >> >> >> SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at: >> net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate() >> >> >> SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at: >> net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate() >> >> >> SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at: >> net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate() >> >> >> SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at: >> net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate() >> >> >> SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at: >> net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate() >> >> >> SoftMAC: ASSERTION FAILED (0) at: >> net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac_wx.c:306:ieee80211softmac_wx_get_rate() >> These can be ignored. > 2.

Please re-extract the firmware using fwcutter. If this doesn't fix the problem, please try a different driver.
