To my knowledge, there have been no fixes specific for the BCM4318 that were 
aimed at fixing the packet loss at high transmission rates; however, there have 
been a lot of fixes for b43. Perhaps one or more of them helped that problem. 
Your tests will likely tell.

As to the multiple SSID question, that will be a function of mac80211 and 
friends. Comment #3 of http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=24268 seems to 
have a prescription for using nl80211 to accomplish that. If that posting 
doesn't answer your question, direct further inquiries to 
linux-wireless at vger.kernel.org.
