I was not talking about the "Bit Rate" reported by iwconfig. My numbers were
_MEASURED_ using Iperf
and by file transfer to a server on my LAN. FYI, the maximum rate for Windows
XP under the same
conditions is 19 Mbs, and it reports a bit rate of 54 Mbs.
AFAIK, all Fedora kernels in the future will contain a bcm43xx driver with a
restricted PCI ID list.
To use bcm43xx, rather than bcm43xx-mac80211, you should copy and paste the
script below to a file,
use chmod to make it executable, and run it as root.
========================
#!/bin/sh
echo 'blacklist bcm43xx-mac80211' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
modprobe -r bcm43xx-mac80211 # remove the new driver
echo 'modprobe bcm43xx' >> /etc/rc.local
BCM43XX_PCI_ID=`lspci -n | grep 14e4 | awk '{ print $3 }' | sed -e 's/:/ /'`
echo 'echo "'$BCM43XX_PCI_ID'" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/bcm43xx/new_id' \
>> /etc/rc.local
================
After this script is run once, you should do a '/etc/rc.local' command (as
root). BTW, this script
is adapted from one posted by John Linville.
