There have been reports that the BCM4306/2 device used to work better than it does in b43legacy. I worked Friday night and Saturday trying to discover which kernel versions might work better, but I did not succeed. I tested 2.6.18.2, 2.6.19, and 2.6.20. All 3 gave iperf transmission rates of 5 Mbs and receive rates of 3 Mbs with a bit rate of 11M. At 24M, I sometimes saw rates up to 2 Mbs, but these were transient. The "stable" rate was 0.3 Mbs.
If you have a specific kernel that reliably gets higher rates at 24M than it does at 11M, please tell me which version, and what firmware you are using, in case that is important. Just to reiterate, the card of interest is the one that uses b43legacy, not b43. From what I hear, the BCM4306s that use b43 are working OK.
