This command set bit rate to 54Mb but card suddenly stopped working :-(. So, I revert back to previous mode. Now i can see variable rates. Network is working fine.

Uhm, the solution might be as simple as doing
 
"iwconfig wlan0 rate 54Mfixed".
 
This command set bit rate to 54Mb but card suddenly stopped working :-(.
So,  I revert back to previous mode. Now i can see variable rates. Network is working
fine. So, i guess bit rate doesn't make much difference(does it ??).

 
 
However, I just noticed that the linuxwireless page about b43
has changed since yesterday; there are new instructions regarding the
versions of firmware and fwcutter tool to use (011), and specific info
regarding kernel 2.6.24. Check it out:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

I just checked, exactly first option suites my conditions and working fine.

 

Tomorrow I too am going to try the new instructions, and read some docs
to at least try understanding what's going on with the new driver
architecture (the *80211 stuff).

Good luck for you !
