First of, you should know that arch-ppc now has its own bugtracker. You should submit this here: http://bugs.archlinuxppc.org/ When you submit that bug, be sure to include some more information:
# dmesg -c # Clear the kernel message buffer. # rmmod bcm43xx # modprobe bcm43xx # reload the module # dmesg Paste the information from the second dmesg command into your bug report.
Cheers, Matt Cox

airport is a driver for the old airport (802.11b) cards. bcm43xx is a driver for the airport extreme (802.11b/g). You only need one. In your case, you want the bcm43xx module, and don't need airport. We can tell from your first message:
0001:10:12.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
I don't think that having both modules loaded concurrently would cause your problem. THe airport module is simply redundant. Matt Cox
