I can confirm the regression:
my card is
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN 
Controller (rev 02)
and I'm running the kernel 2.6.22-11-386 on Gutsy 

I can confirm poor performance, I can reach only ~40KB traffic from a cople 
meters away from the AP.
I cannot confirm the crash in restricted-manager, Infact i can download 
succesfully the firmware from the internet with restricted-manager (source 
http://xeve.de/down/wl_apsta.o) and the lights of my pcmcia card do light on, 
but restricted manager still ask for a firmware after a reboot, and I have to 
start over the process of enable firmware --> download the firmware from 
internet.
I have filled a bug (Bug #139086) about this.
Also I confirm a bug in restricted manager that prevents me from load a 
firmware using a local file either typing the path-to-file manually in the 
input box and trying to push the browse button.

when launching restricted manager from a terminal and downloading the
file from internet I receive this output from the terminal:
