No. On my BCM4311/1, my transfer rate peaked at about 12 Mbs with bcm43xx, but increased to 20 Mbs with b43. These tests were done with iperf with a server running running on a second computer connected by wire to my router. These rates are for 802.11g. When my interface was locked at 11 Mbs, the transfer rate was the expected 5.3-5.5 Mbs with both drivers. > I was told by Michael that I would have to fix it myself, and I am > trying, but the learning curve is a little steep.

Do you have any chance to capture the traffic between your computer and the router by using a second wireless computer running kismet or wireshark? A look at the differences between b43 and bcm43xx should show the reason.
