This patch makes my BCM4311 positively hum even with the power set at the default 18.5 dBm. I get 
the same performance as was seen using the PHY code ported from softmac. Congratulations - you found 
the secret. Of course, the system will probably be even better when hardware power control is 
working, but we can now afford to wait until the reverse engineers have time.

I still have not tested with the BCM4318 and the BCM4306.

Larry
