Heh. I hadn't enabled CONFIG_BCM43XX_DEBUG myself, but I just changed it for my next kernel build. This is a slightly different issue, which is that sometimes _DEBUG options shouldn't be turned on by default (because they really trash performance and bloat log size), and sometimes they are painless to turn on and don't cost much.
If that is the case, I'd suggest removing the option and just making it compiled in by default with a run-time option to enable it.
I am taking your suggestion and will produce the necessary patches for ssb, b43 and b43legacy. As bcm43xx is likely to be removed from 2.6.25, which is the earliest such a non-bug fix patch would be accepted, I hope that your future distribution and testing kernels will include the debug option.
Thanks,
