I was getting the same issue and solved it by following the instructions in
 <a href=http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-280821.html>fedoraforum.org</a>
and 
 <a href=http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt>www.broadcom.com</a>
Which basically is to download the broadcom upstream STA driver source from broadcom, make a few minor edits to the source (explained in the fedora forum link) and compile the wl.ko module yourself, blacklist all the other broadcom modules. I sugesst reading through both pages completely.

Not only did this get rid of the log file spamming, but the connection
status is now as it should be, with the Ubuntu compiled version I could
only get full strength right next to the router, now I get full strength
up to 15 feet away (similar to windows).
