Could the problem I reported a few days ago with a bcm4306 rev. 03 be related ? (I can't physically put my computer close to my DSL box/wifi router to check). Someone on Ubuntu bug tracker reported something similar : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/184976/comments/24 [quote] Uninstalled bcm43xx-fwcutter and b43-fwcutter. Then installed b43-fwcutter and at the end loaded down and installed the b43-firmware. WLAN works but only right next to my router. When the distance was higher (about 10m) then the laptop wasn't able to connect. I found out that the signal was shown with a quality of 85-95 % in the network-manager when the Laptop was right next to my router.
