Fix a typo from the original driver. We need to write ctrl2 into RF register 0x52, not ctrl1. This appears to be a mistake in the bcm reverse engineering page, and has been corrected there. Tracing through the code, this is more in keeping with the "documented" register. Sephe thinks it looks interesting and may be worth fixing. :)

Bring in Andrew Thompson's port of Sepherosa Ziehau's bwi driver for Broadcom BCM43xx chipsets. This driver uses the v3 firmware that needs to be fetched separately. A port will be committed to create the bwi firmware module.
The driver matches the following chips: Broadcom BCM4301, BCM4307, BCM4306, BCM4309, BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4318, BCM4319
The driver works for 802.11b and 802.11g.
Limitations: This doesn't support the 802.11a or 802.11n portion of radios. Some BCM4306 and BCM4309 cards don't work with Channel 1, 2 or 3. Documenation for this firmware is reverse engineered from http://bcm.sipsolutions.net/ V4 of the firmware is needed for 11a or 11n support http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/ Firmware needs to be fetched from a third party, port to be committed
# I've tested this with a BCM4319 mini-pci and a BCM4318 CardBus card, and # not connected it to the build until the firmware port is committed.
