When it does it to me, I have to pull the network card out and then put it back in. It also stops the clock on the laptop when it happens? I never mentioned it because I assumed it was unique to this laptop (Dell Inspiron 2200).

Same here but ndiswrapper works just fine. 

When bcm43xx was first released, I chased the problem to a timing issue 
between my AP and bcm43xx for authentication.  If I run my AP open (I 
know, really bad idea), it connects just fine.  If I use a WEP key, 
bcm43xx times-out before the AP responds.
