Could this be the reason my BCM94311MCG rev 1 receives such terrible performance with b43 but works well with bcm43xx? The device is 802.11b/g but my router is 802.11b. I filed a report on this issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=413291 I was told by Michael that I would have to fix it myself, and I am trying, but the learning curve is a little steep. If this is relevant, I might at least have some direction to go in. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
