I unfortunately can't reproduce the problem with my b43 und my other cards work fine, too. But I think the problem is that the NetworkManager does the following: (And causes with it some low level drivers and wifi cards into trouble.) [99554.112921] wlan0: Set SSID [99554.113853] wlan0: Set BSSID [99554.113861] wlan0: Set SSID [99554.115084] wlan0: Set BSSID [99554.115091] wlan0: Set SSID Have you test it manual with the NetworkManager disabled?
