Have you had experiences with other bcm43xx drivers with this card and AP? Some people have reported poor performance at 11Mb/s, but others have no problems. I just tested my BCM4311 with b43 from wireless-dev, WEP encryption, and an AP set for b-only operation. It's speed adjusted to 11 Mbs fairly quickly and yielded about 4 Mbs uploads using iperf. Due to my network configuration, I couldn't measure download speed. BTW, when you send iwconfig output to the list, please obscure the encryption key. You have just published it to the whole world.
