Here's a better workaround: Download the patch that I am attaching to this comment. Then copy the wireless power script into /etc, and apply my patch to it:
$ sudo cp /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/wireless /etc/pm/power.d/wireless $ sudo patch /etc/pm/power.d/wireless < PATCHFILE Putting a script in /etc/pm will override the script with the same name in /usr/lib/pm-utils. The patch adds a special case for the "wl" driver that prevents the activation of power saving. Someone could add this patch to the source package and build a pm-utils deb with the fixed wireless script in it if they wanted to. ** Patch added: "pmutils-fix-bcmwl-battery-slowdown.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/651008/+attachment/2615453/+files/pmutils-fix-bcmwl-battery-slowdown.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651008 Title: Regression in wireless performance under Maverick when on battery power (broadcom) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/651008/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
