Hell, it is pure luck that this does not blow up the whole machine.

Please check the memory region of your wireless card with lspci -vvnn:

0001:10:12.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Apple Computer Inc. AirPort Extreme [106b:004e]
        Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
        Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
        Latency: 16
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 52
        Region 0: Memory at a0006000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
        Kernel modules: ssb

It says 8k for all of my devices there. So an MMIO write to 0x2000 and above
writes to completely random memory.
