Guys,

I just added the patches that let brcmsmac use bcma, and tested the TX and RX rates using netperf. The results are

Driver                  RX              TX

brcmsmac                21.7            6.2
b43                     15.0            6.0
wl                      43.5            73.5

The AP is running in 802.11n mode and has throughput of 40-60 Mbps in both directions with an RTL8192CE, thus both open-source drivers have room for improvement.

I am using the following firmware:
b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 666.2 (2011-02-23 01:15:07)


With b43 and mac80211 debugging turned on, I see a lot of

wlan13: detected beacon loss from AP - sending probe request
