Hi...

ehm... i use 4318 with 2.6.16, and absolutly no real
problem
(sometimes i must bring eth down, up, down to put in
monitor mode, but
hey it's work!).
I read this ml to stay updated to release and news,
but if i can help
ask without problem.
The card works for Florian and me, so seem like the
drivers is good,
but some config broken it....

You may need to build the bcm43xx driver from more
recent source. maybe even use their fwcutter util to
pull the softmac info out of the windows driver.
