As a novice to driver development, is there some way I can help with
testing this?

I have no experience of driver development/testing, but have an N-PHY
BCM4328 wireless NIC that is just itching to be eventually freed from
ndiswrapper :) I'd be happy to lend some help testing new patches and
feeding back results, if I could get a few pointers on where to get
started...

I'm running 2.6.24-19 kernel release, and my card is listed by lspci as:

06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n
(rev 03)
