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.
