I sent a patch to Michael today that fixes the condition that causes this
warning.

Your interface should not be renamed if you add a rule to
/etc/udev/rules.d/30-net_persistent_names.rules that looks like the following
(change the address
fields to match your device - this is the MAC address of my 4311):
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{address}=="00:1a:73:04:1d:e5", \
IMPORT="/lib/udev/rename_netiface %k eth1"
Is it possible for you to use Iperf to test your link? The reason I ask is that
my 4311 gets maximum
transmit and receive rates of 4.16 and 1.60 Mb/s, respectively, using
bcm43xx-mac80211. By contrast,
bcm43xx-softmac gets 14.6 and 12.7 Mb/s using the identical hardware
configuration. I would like to
know if there is something different here.
