What do you mean by 'tied to wlan0'?  Does assigning the ip address to
wlan0 also assign an address to wifi0?  or something else?

If both are trying to handle the same physical device then certainly you
should remove the one you are not using.  That will remove the
possibility of interference.  I don't believe the madwifi driver is able
to handle the broadcom chipset you have.
