I belive you still need testing?

I used openfwwf-5.0.tar.gz and initvals.tar.gz for my bcm4318 card  in
Acer Aspire 5024 (qos=0). Scanning works fine, connecting to WPA
Personal network also. I can't check speed performance as I don't have
antenna connected to my card (notebook lid just gone... I belive
"Acer" explains that situation to you?). As for stability it's great.
I downloaded 100MB, left notebook for 24h and then downloaded another
50MB.

So to sum up: I don't feel any difference between opensource and
broardcom's firmware.
