Thanks a lot guys for debugging this. AFAIU:
1) Linux + b43 = RX ok, TX broken
2) Linux + ndis = RX ok, TX broken
3) XP = RX ok, TX ok

Jes?s: I could try debugging if we got any working Linux driver. Even
ndiswrapper is alright, we could grab MMIO dumps from ndis na b43 and
compare them.
Could you try using some different Windows driver with ndiswrapper?
Maybe some another one will work with this BCM4301 device?
