bcm43xx in 2.6.17-rc6

So the bcm43xx-support with kernel 2.6.17-rc6 should work, but it does
only partially - WPA is not running; wpa_supplicant says:

ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
Driver did not support SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
WPA: Failed to set PTK to the driver.

What is wrong here?

bcm43xx is hardly tested on B-only hardware.
Does it work without encryption?

I don't know since I cannot deactivate encryption on my AP - I must use
encryption.

I just tested the following Card-Bus-Card:
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

It's also a broadcom-chip in another version, but the driver also says:
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
Driver did not support SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
WPA: Failed to set PTK to the driver.

The driver really seems to have a problem: wpa_supplicant wants to do
something and the driver does not understands it.

Why can't you deactivate it for the sake of testing?
