Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01)

The driver works only if I don't subject it to high traffic. If I begin a 
large transfer (like a DVD ISO) the card looses the connection with the AP 
and behaves erratically in a way that interferes with my wireless mouse (I 
have to unplug the mouse receiver and plug it back in several times, which is 
very annoying).
