I am having severe performance problems with bcm43xx-softmac. When I ping my AP (only a wireless round trip), The following times are typical. Note the instance when it takes nearly 1/2 second! In addition, I have seen times of 10 seconds, or more.

I have an i386 (Athlon K7), UP, with preemptible kernel. My wifi card is a Linksys WPC54G with a BCM4306 rev 2 chip, and I use WPA-PSK TKIP with wpa_supplicant. Does anyone else see such variability in local ping times? Any ideas?
