Jussi Pakkanen / Seth Forshee, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, please just make a comment to this. As well, as a potential WORKAROUND, would the Broadcom drivers provided via https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl provide improved performance? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069766 Title: 14e4:4331 Slow transfer speeds with BCM 4331 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The BCM 4331 wireless chip has slow transfer speeds compared to OSX. I tested by transferring a big file over the wireless between this machine and a server that is connected to the wireless router by a wired connection using scp. The transfer speeds are: OSX upload: 7 MB/s OSX download: 8.5 MB/s Linux upload: 800 kB/s Linux download: 1.9 MB/s Uploading on Linux is 10 times slower than uploading on OSX. CPU load is ~14% when downloading in Linux. The distance between the AP and the laptop was ~5 meters with direct line of sight between the two. The security used is WPA2. The only similar symptom I found by web searching is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1964768&page=2 The workaround given on that page do not work for me. This is not a regression. The driver for this chipset was added in Precise and that had the same problem.
