I'm seeing similar problems in 8.10. dmesg -nnv shows:

03:02.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:12f8]
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 21
        Memory at b0204000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
        Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
        Kernel modules: ssb

I'm attaching dmesg on a fresh boot.

The card was working fine prior to upgrading to 8.10 from 7.10. Since then, I have very rarely been able to see any networks with iwlist (worked once), and haven't been able to connect to any networks at all. I tried using the b43legacy module instead of b43, which prevented eth1 from even showing up. I tried using the SPROM fix provided by Larry, changing "SPROM(0x72, Low 16 bits of Boardflags) = 0x3A49" to "SPROM(0x72, Low 16 bits of Boardflags) = 0x3A48", to no avail.

Thanks,
