b43 act's strangelly

I cannot use my wirelles card, I use b43 module, Sometimes it works, but in 90% cases iwlist shows no results. Let me explain the situation:

When I reboot the mashine and scan for networks, everything is normal.
then:

iwconfig wlan0 essid MY_ESSID key s:MY_KEY channel 6

still ok then:

iwconfig ap any

the wirelles LED goes off for about half a second, then its on again
after this ilist shows 0 results. if i try to connect via netcfg2 or gnome-network-manager the same happens.

I tried to downgrade the kernel, but no luck.
Also tried ndiswrapper, but very simmilar problems occur.

Both b43 and ndiswrapper used to work, but i dont remember exactly when it stopped (it still works under fedora, also wirelles in Windows Vista is working well)

lspci:

05:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
