I can confirm this regression on an old PIII based notebook with a
32 bit BCM4306/3 PCMCIA card:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Linksys WPC54G v1 / WPC54GS v1 802.11g Wireless-G Notebook Adapter [1737:4320]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10
Memory at 20000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
I can observe these differences in the dmesg output (3.2.9 + current
stable queue-3.2):
The kernel configuration is identical in both cases, the only
difference is "genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken"
being applied or not.
--- working <-- 3.2.9 + current stable queue-3.2, with "genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not woken" reverted
+++ broken <-- 3.2.9 + current stable queue-3.2

While I don't get any revealing error messages, once "genirq: Unmask
oneshot irqs when thread was not woken" is applied the wlan card
stops working (no scan results, unable to auth).
I cannot reproduce this problem on a different amd64/ 64 bit system
with a BCM4318 PCI card, which continues to work fine.
