I've got a BCM 4312 card on a Dell laptop running 10.04 and an Apple Airport network. Since I configured the Airport to use "WPA2 Personal" Authentication, my connection is flaky: it drops for no apparent reason and sometimes I can't connect at all. When authentication is turned off, the connection is rock solid.
Here's an example from the syslog of a failed attempt to connect:

Note that even the successful attempt takes more than 45 seconds; it's 15 seconds before the card is associated with the network and another 15 before a DHCP request is issued. This seems abnormally slow.
Here's an example of the connection being dropped (the drop happens at 15:50, after having connected at 15:30):
Code:
