I'm having problems with brcmsmac
My wireless card:

0d:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 145c
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
	Memory at c4400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
	Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>
	Capabilities: [48] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
	Capabilities: [d0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00
	Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
	Capabilities: [13c] Virtual Channel
	Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 00-00-12-ff-ff-47-ac-81
	Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
	Kernel driver in use: brcmsmac
	Kernel modules: brcmsmac, bcma

after the boot the wireless was not working anymore, I blacklisted bcma and worked again (not shore why before worked), but during boot the boot stops for 20-30 sec and this happens:

if I blacklist brcmsmac and leave bcma the above doesn't happen but the wireless is not detected *at all*.
Any idea what should I downgrade to get the thing working again correctly?

NOTE: all packages are up-to-date except for the kernel (3.1.5-1)

I had to add brcmsmac to my modules array in rc.conf.
