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:

I don't think that having both modules loaded concurrently would cause
your problem. THe airport module is simply redundant.
