I'm seeing numerous data dropouts or "stalls" on my BCM94322MC (4873330-001) on ML 10.8.1. My setup is a Gigabtye GA-Z77-DS3H + i5-3570K with Mountain Lion 10.8.1. Originally the card was reported as a Third Party Wireless card but with same data "stall" behavior. I then successfully rebranded as an Apple AirPort card using prasys's / sanguinarypc's method here to set subp to 0x008E. The card is now reported as an AirPort Extreme, but I still get dropouts every couple minutes (varies based on use) which can be corrected by toggling wifi on/off, even though ML still reports its associated with my AP. Using the same card & mini-PCI to PCI cradle in Win8 (in same PC) there were no issues with dropouts. When it does work, I get decent, solid throughput to my AP.

Has anyone seen this behavior in ML or with this BCM4322 card? I thought that my MultiBeast install for LAN drivers was stepping on the wifi driver but re-installing ML w/o installing LAN drivers has the same behavior. I also tried swapping PCI-x slots to no avail. I checked /var/log/system.log but there's nothing listed related to the stalls. This is frustrating!! Any pointers? I need to get this solved or else it's back to umm..don't want to say
Thanks!
