All who test it - do it with lastest BroadCom cards.
It driver for *OLD* cards. Need delete last MAC revision, I post patch 
in forum.
bwimac.c

|-/* MAC */static const uint8_t bwi_sup_macrev[] = { 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 };
+/* MAC */static const uint8_t bwi_sup_macrev[] = { 2, 4, 5 };|

For revision > |5| - need another driver!
