This is unbelievably annoying. I just bought a Dell Mini 10 which has this unbearable Broadcom 4312 chipset. I am currently running Karmic UNR fully updated. I am having the EXACT same issues as described above. The wireless is almost unusable. I set udev to give it eth1 rather than eth2 since my ethernet is eth0

If I load up firefox and try to go to Google it just hangs on 'Waiting for google.com ...' -- I then run 'watch ifconfig eth1' and try to reload ff repeatedly and the TX error count starts going up. SOMETIMES it will eventually load, but most of the time not. If I then try to go to another site it might load up quick, might not. Sometimes I can't even SSH into the box sitting next to me. ssh -vv tells me it stops at:

debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP

but gets not further. If I repeatedly click a link trying to 'force it' :) -- then I might get a kernel panic. I'll test anything at this point.
