Found the bad commit, "revamp beacon configuration" (7/9/08), and posted 
the problem to linux-wireless. With the reverted patch, the zd1211rw and 
the b43 find and talk to each other.

I conformed the ie codes in wireshark to those in mac80211. They seem to 
decode the data with the reverted patch. After I've tested a little 
more, I'll post the wireshark changes back here.

I'm very impressed with your work!
