The output of iwconfig is usually what is needed. The problem is NOT with b43 or mac80211, but with the udev renaming rules for network devices. When you switch from bcm43xx/softmac to b43/mac80211, the number of "wireless" devices goes from a single "wlan0" the the combination of "wmaster0" and "wlan0". The existing renaming rule renames "wmaster0" to "eth1" and then tries to rename "wlan0". It fails as "eth1" already exists. You then end up with "eth1" and "wlan0-rename". Your network support software then tries to manipulate eth1 and fails. You have two options: (1) rewrite the renaming rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, or (2) delete the rule and let udev recreate it.
