There seems to be two changes to bcm43xx driver in todays (2.6.15-19) kernel
update. You may want to try that.

This is not good - it means that FW was not properly loaded on the card,
therefore it can hardly work.

eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:"casa"  Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"

and this seems to be the result: cannot get proper data from you wireless
AP (AP should be hex address and not "invalid")

I would try latest kernel and maybe search for update FW release...
