AirPort Extreme version 3.1 & compatibility

In addition to letting you just plug in a broadcom card and be off an 
running, v3.1 seems to have broken interoperability with hostap mode in 
4.x and broadcom clients (including apple's own airport extreme).  
5.1-current seems to be fine.

I've just spent 2 weeks at apple wwdc helping with the build out of the 
wifi for the conference and met many of the folks at apple doing wifi 
stuff.  I'm going to dump a box with a freebsd based ap software (surf 
and sip) and was wondering if anyone else wanted to get me an image of 
there AP.  This box will likely live at apple and be tested against for 
future driver releases so this is a good opportunity.

Hopefully this will help with these issues in the future.

Cheers,
Cliff
