I'm not sure that 2.6.18 reports wireless statistics anywhere near correctly. I do know that the 
performance is greatly improved in 2.6.21. You should download and build a later version, or get my 
standalone package from ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches/bcm43xx-softmac-sa.tar.bz2.

Your firmware is OK - it is the latest version that can be used with bcm43xx.
