Broadcom wireless 4315 and rtorrent

I have a very strange problem with rtorrent -- it doesn't work with broadcom wireless card.
I have Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with 4315 wireless card, I've tried every driver I could find -- ndiswrapper (very unstable), b43+fwcutter (no work at all), so I came to Broadcom proprietary "wl" driver that works very well with my card, except one little thing it doesn't work with rtorrent client (any other client works well with that card). Rtorrent works well through wired card (sky2). I have no clue how to resolve it. Rtorrent successfully connects to tracker, but when it tries to connect to peers timeout expires and it logs "Handshake failed - network unreachable".

I think card drops some answer packets, but why it happens with rtorrent?:|

transmission does not work also, it seems that  torrents wont work with this driver, does'nt matter what client you use.

I haven't tried Transmission, but Ktorrent and Azareus work without problems.
