There about 50 calls to the Broadcom driver to set up both ssid's and start the beacons.
From reading the reverse engineering web site, it looks like they have a tool that traces pci bus transactions. Perhaps it's feasible to use that to see what the driver sent to the 802.11 core during those 50 calls. If somebody can point me to their mailing list, I'll post the trace over there and see what happens.
