I am assuming that one is enough for the speed difference? Will these
patches be in next kernel releases?

That's not the one I was thinking of, does it apply? Look for his
combined patches.

John,
One "trivial", counter-intuitive suggestion until you get an updated kernel is
to set your rate to 1
Mbs using iwconfig. For some reason, that cuts the error rate in transmissions,
and both your
download and upload speeds will improve.
Larry
Thanks.
I was looking for some binary solution for now, as my fedora kernel is
Linux laptop 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Mar 19 11:38:26 EDT 2007
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
And I have stopped compiling own kernels due to lack of time.
However, it seems that is not possible.
Thanks though.

Possibly. I'll ensure an ifdown before rmmod in the future. Upon my
return to home it associated and wep'ized but was still unable to
exchange traffic (rxcount and txcount incrementing on if, wireshark sees
traffic, but the interface refuses to stay ifconfig'd up with an ip.
Turns radio off.

This means that you already have CONFIG_BCM43XX_DEBUG defined
in .config, right? I guess you had to re

I am also unable to get bcm43xx to connect to my WRT54G (which I pulled
out of the network kit to do this test). It connects just fine to the
Buffalo WBR54Gs. (The case does not have any ID other than WRT54G... no
version number or anything.)

For the record, i am using my 4311 with bcm43xx and my WRT54G v6
router. it works fine for me. Though previously it often stopped
working and I would have to reset it (the router that is), but it has
worked far better since I just recently updated its firmware from the
linksys website.
