Hi!
I've tried the new firmware. There are still PHY TX errors with my BCM4318.

This happens repeatedly during file transfers. Everything is quite slow. You
can see that the device was reset.
Will the firmware upgrade fix this? Must I be running the latest b43 driver to
use the new firmware?
I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 with kernel version 2.6.27-7-generic.
Thanks,
Forest

This helped neither with the PHY TX errors nor with the RX errors where
I'm getting invalid frames passed up from the firmware and run into a
WARN_ON:
drivers/net/wireless/b43/xmit.c:49
(b43_plcp_get_bitrate_idx_cck)
