do you have a bcm43xx chipset supported? from what you've said it seems tha=
t
you have the 4318 chip, which is one the most horrible and bugged broadcom
chips. i ended up buying another wireless card for 17=80 based on an athero=
s
chipshet and now i have a great experience with it. i also have all my
settings set by networkmanager.
Make sure you have all the kernel options for bcm43xx disabled if you go
