Thanks for your report! :) Support in 2.6.38 is known to be speed limited. Actually, if you check http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 , we report BCM4322 as supported in 2.6.39+. With this newer kernel you should get 54M TX. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list b43-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
