Hi, I'm having problems with my broadcom 4311 card, using the latest snapshot from the wireless-testing tree; I can't connect to my AP, nor I see any wireless networks with iwlist scan.
I've used b43-fwcutter 011 and firmware from broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5
Here are my system's details:

I've attached a copy of the messages in syslog which I got after
inserting the b43 module and trying to connect to the AP a couple of
times.

What should I understand from this? That my laptop's card receives the
association frame too late, from the AP ?
Scanning for networks is not working either and I know for sure there
are about 5 around my location:
# iwlist eth1 scan
eth1 No scan results
Thanks for any feedback!
PS: I'm not using any encryption at all on my wireless network.
