I've recompiled the latest OpenWRT trunk. I did turn on debugging symbols and 
I've also applied the patch I did send earlier and to my surprise the module 
loded without any complaints. dmesg gave me the following message:

b43-phy0: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found (core revision 9)

After doing some basic testing I can confirm that the card is working! I do not 
know why it did give me the errors the last time, but I also did a nvram reset 
of the box today - maybe that did the trick.

It would be nice if you could review my changes to 
drivers/ssb/b43_pci_bridge.c and include/linux/pci_ids.h and add the vendor id 
upstream.


Regards,
Daniel
