Thanks for your report! Do you need that all options at all? I think hwtkip=0 is default one. Parameter qos should not matter. AFAIK pio is needed for some BCM4321s only. I didn't check what bad_frames_preempt does. > wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"xxxxxxxxx" > Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: 00:14:BF:xx:xx:x > Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm > Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off > Encryption key:off > Power Management:off > Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=0 dBm > Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 > Tx excessive retries:4045 Invalid misc:1776 Missed beacon:0 > > Its only 11Mbit (sure its a 54Mbit AP) but speed is constant ~ 500k/s. > > Btw: the driver from broadcom (wl) is NOT working but 4e3 does :-D Hm, that's interesting. wl should work too. As for speed, it's known issue. I still hope to get patches ready for 2.6.39 merge window. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
