Not yet.  I thought I would come to the source first.  The larger
concentration of experience with b43 is likely here rather than the
OpenWrt developers don't you think?

Firmware appears to be from broadcom-wl 4.150.10.5

I sure did!

Wrong and wrong.  All built from source here.

As above.

Indeed, I can.

I may end up doing that.  My query here was merely to ascertain whether
what I am seeing is consistent with the current revision of the b43
driver or not.  I believe I am understanding that it is not and that
others are able to run the b43 driver in AP mode with WPA2 encryption
and not having the encryption done in software -- or have high level of
interrupts otherwise.

And you.
