They may be this (debugging enabled):
bcm43xx: set security called, .level = 0, .enabled = 0, .encrypt = 0

The sluggishness disappeared with rate 11M. It was at 24M like you 
assumed. But the connection is still lost after a few minutes. It then 
takes a minute before it automatically (most of the time) reconnects.

As I see it, there are two shortcomings of the driver at this point:
- Unability to work reliably at other than 11M
- Unability to keep a stable connection

The signal is obviously good enough to support rates up to 54M. I have 
been able to download at speeds around 1,4 Mb/s which is over 11Mbit/s 
with control traffic - when connected at 24M or 54M with ndiswrapper, 
that is.

I'll be happy to do more testing if anyone needs it.
