Although they work much better than 43224, especially with 48Mb/s and 54Mb/s and with higher MCS (especially with two streams), the 43224 seemed to be more stable.

Followup: just tried to place the new WLAN card in my notebook; Lenovo
doesn't like them if they're not whitelisted. I'll have to hack my bios
before I send this card over.

Yes, I tried blacklisting the proprietary wl on kernel 3.17 and
rebooting. Messed a bit around, I could scan for networks, but wasn't
able to connect to any of them. I sent a mail about that earlier to the
b43 list; got no response (possibly someone forgot to use reply all).
