I am using Linux 2.6.22.3 with recent git wireless-dev drivers
(updated a few days ago, actually it is Mandriva's kernel 2.6.22-6mdv
which includes this wireless-dev patch:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/kernel-2.6/releases/2.6.22/6mdv/PATCHES/patches/MC70_wireless-dev_drivers_updates.patch?view=log)
I have an Asus WL100g Deluxe PC card, which works perfectly fine with
the traditional bcm43xx drivers as included in the standard Linux
kernel. This is the device:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306
802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)
However, with the new b43 driver, it fails to associate with my
WPA2-PSK (AES) secured AP. Here are some dmesg logs:

When scanning it works and finds my AP:
