I understand your frustration with the bcm4312 support. It seems a lot
of people with similar chips have the same issues.

Fixing the source code for driver versions 5.60.x is tricky because there is no 
driver version 5.60.x in oneiric. So no package in which to put the fix. The 
only sane place I can see to fix this bug is in lucid updates (Ubuntu 10.04):
   https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/bcmwl/lucid

If it's possible to upgrade the kernel on lucid to 3.x with the
available backported kernels then it will be possible to reproduce this
bug on an actual supported Ubuntu release. In that case, the developers
will have a place to actually put a fix.

Please also keep an eye on bug 732677. That is the one about
bcm4311/4312 chips not working with the current driver versions 5.100.x.
Bug 732677 is really the root cause of this problem because you want to
be using the latest driver version.
