Uhm, the solution might be as simple as doing "iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M fixed". However, I just noticed that the linuxwireless page about b43 has changed since yesterday; there are new instructions regarding the versions of firmware and fwcutter tool to use (011), and specific info regarding kernel 2.6.24. Check it out: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 Tomorrow I too am going to try the new instructions, and read some docs to at least try understanding what's going on with the new driver architecture (the *80211 stuff). -- [email protected] mailing list
