Here's an updated version that should fix even more bugs:

I had to omit the last part (for tables.c) - it's unrelated, cosmetic and doesn't apply to wireless-2.6/everything.

This patch (and its predecessor) seem to make transmission at the OFDM rates a bit more reliable on
my BCM4311/2 card.

It's working fine on BCM4318 on PowerPC. I haven't done any specific comparisons, but it used to disconnect a lot (at least one an hour) with a small antenna, so I installed a bigger antenna, but then gave up and switched to using another wireless device (rtl8185).

Right now, it's been working for over 2 hours with a small antenna (although it's a different antenna borrowed from rtl8185) and no disconnects. Scanning finds 5 APs, which is the most I have seen here.
