The device configures and comes up no problem.
I can even obtain an i.p. via DHCP however the connection only stays
up for a matter of seconds until I get this error:

b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error

at which point the device is useless and cannot be made to connect
again until after a reboot.
Currently I do use WPA however I've even tried disabling encryption
entirely but the problem persists.

I'm not sure what to try at this point.  If you'd like further info
from my system just say so and I'll be glad to post it.
