================================== Don't know if this will help but it might. I am using a HP Pavillion dv9210 with AMD dual processor 64bit and 2G memory. It contains a Broadcom Corporation BCM94311 MCG wlan mini-pci card which states it is rev 01. It worked well with feisty and works well on gutsy EXCEPT on my 7mb DSL the maximum speed I can get is 118 kbs with gutsy, while it provided 6 mbs with feisty. I have been following this thread with interest and have just downloaded broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0, used bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract and install the firmware which produced no error messages. I rebooted and ran another internet download speed test but am still stuck at 118 kbs. The kernel is: "2.6.22-12-generic #1 SMP Sat Sep 22 18:14:28 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux". Hope this is helpful...
