Ugh. This is nasty to bisect, because it goes back to the pre-3.2 days
that didn't support graphics properly on that Macbook Air either. So
I've been having to work around not just the "wireless doesn't work",
but also the "graphics doesn't work" issue.

But after lots of nasty bisection problems and a few false starts, it
definitely looks like the brcmsmac driver. I don't know exactly which
commit, but it's all in network drivers now, and the only network
driver on this machine is the brcmsmac one.
