Problem with Linksys WCM54GS if more than 1GB RAM is installed

bcm43xx will not load if FC5 is booted on the machine with more than 1GB of RAM. The error reported is:

bcm43xx: >>>FATAL ERROR<<< DMA RX SKB >1G (0xde051010, len: 2404)

If I limit the amount of memory using the mem=768M kernel boot option, then "modprobe bcm43xx" works fine, and I can bring the adapter up ... even WPA works fine.

Wireless card is Linksys WCM54GS (it has Broadcom 4318E chip).
