Well, after a lot of work, and after getting help on the bcm43xx mailing
list, I find that the true situation seems to be that this card is `sort
of' supported in 2.6.17. By which I mean that with the bcm43xx driver it
can associate with an access point in 1 or 2 attempts out of 10---that
is, not reliably enough to be usable in real life. The problem seems to
be with TX Power issues, and as far as I can tell, 2.6.18 will not fare
any better with respect to those issues.
These cards are marketed as the Linksys Wireless-G WPC54GS rev 2 (with
Speed Booster). So caveat emptor. I really thought that I had done the
searching needed to be sure that the card was supported.
