Do you get more than one PHY transmission error? With the BCM4311/2, you will get one every time the interface is brought up. We don't know why, but it is not critical. I use that interface with WPA and have no troubles. Please send the appropriate section of /var/log/messages starting with the firmware version message, and continuing through to after it has disconnected.
