I had the same problem on an old laptop recently.
I had to blacklist hostap, hostap_cs drivers. Now I show one device and its working well again.
If you need more instruction I'll post them when I get to the shop and find my notes.

stopped working--using airport extreme--but still works fine on the mac
side of the computer. /var/log/messages shows all the broadcom components
being loaded but shows link not ready when brought up. cat /proc/net/dev
shows wlan0_rename (also a eth1) but all zeros. The relevant part of lspci
-knn shows:

Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb
I did make the firmware changes as instructed with the 2.6.25 kernel
and this problem didn't occur when I changed to 2.6.26.
Has anybody had
this happen and are there other tests I should run or other
logs in which I need to look to find out wt is wrong?
