Using bcm43xx-softmac, my log gets full of messages that look like:

Apr 6 18:06:55 larrylap kernel: TKIP: ICV error detected: STA=00:14:bf:85:49:fa

Does the driver properly filter out FCS errors? If not, the proper fix
is to fix the driver to do that. If yes, I'm quite surprised that you
see these messages so frequently.

According to Johannes Berg and Michael Buesch, the bcm43xx firmware filters the frames with FCS errors before they even get to the driver. I'm still looking to see if I can find a way to filter the offending packets further to keep them from getting to ieee80211.

Thanks,

Larry
