Comment 2 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-26 16:53:46 UTC
This is a known issue with the 4318 chip:
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2006-October/003000.html

Unfortunately the mainline bcm43xx driver does not support 4318 very well, and is not really being developed further.

If you're interested pursuing this, reproduce it with bcm43xx-mac80211 on the wireless-dev.git kernel tree, and then write to the linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org mailing list.
