My Linksys PCI BCM4318 NIC worked flawlessly with 8.04, with the b43
driver.  After upgrading to 9.04, dmesg is flooded with

b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error

and the system becomes unresponsive.  Additionally, auto rate doesn't
work, and the radio always chooses 1M...although I can manually set it
to 54M.  I've tried all the alternate firmware "solutions" to no avail.

I manually configure the NIC in /etc/network/interfaces with  WPA2 and a
static IP.  I still have a backup of my 8.04 installation, but I'd much
rather help to debug this regression.

I didn't test 8.10, but if my hypothesis is correct then this is an
everything-after-Hardy regression.
