Sorry for taking so long to write back - I disabled APIC mode using the
noapic kernel boot parameter.  And have been testing it for a few days
to fully confirmed that all the hardware is working properly - a touch
slower to boot, and can see a few things that were on separate
interrupts are now having to share.  No major worries as everything is
working as it should be.  I'm baffled as to why I can use APIC mode with
ndiswrapper and not get a flood of illegal register address messages and
the laptop is rock solid stable, but continuously get illegal register
messages & instability if I don't disable APIC mode while I use the ssb
with b43 driver.  I wonder if the wireless adapter is doing something
abnormal/non-standard... :-(

The info I snipped about the Broadcom board:

00:0b.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 
802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
        Subsystem: AMBIT Microsystem Corp. TravelMate 2410
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 4
        Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
