Re: bcm-43xx HORRIBLY slow with 4311 card and 2.6.20

2007-04-09 Thread Stephen Sinclair
For the record, i am using my 4311 with bcm43xx and my WRT54G v6 router. it works fine for me. Though previously it often stopped working and I would have to reset it (the router that is), but it has worked far better since I just recently updated its firmware from the linksys website. Steve

I have one more test to try... I am strangely never able to associate with the wifi router in my girlfriend's apartment, however it is a crappy old D-Link B-series router. I'll try it next time I get a chance. (I've long suspected the reason is that she lives in an apartment building,

Hello, Apologies for being so slow about applying and testing this patch. Now that I had some time, I tried to be quite methodical about it. I hadn't used iperf before, so I'm happy to have heard about this nice tool. Here are my results, 4311, HD dv2020 laptop: WITHOUT the patch in this

Hi, Please run 'cat /proc/wireless' to see if interrupts are being delivered to the bcm43xx. Do you mean /proc/interrupts? My system has no /proc/wireless. In any case, you are right, the new wireless-2.6 kernel reports 0 interrupts for bcm43xx. The old one (which I'm using to type this),

No bcm43xx card works at higher than 11 MBs. Whenever any of the higher rates are selected, the TX signal strength drops considerably. Okay, I thought it was something similar. As you have git cloned the wireless-2.6 tree, it is very simple to do a git pull to update your source. You

With respect to the 4311, you will be happy to learn that one of the developers (me) now has one. It does not work with any of the mainline (2.6.20 or wireless-2.6) kernels, nor with stable (2.6.19). It does work with the wireless-dev git tree, and I am trying to find the critical differences

I'm glad to hear that you can connect with your BCM4311 as that means that the PCI-E patches are good. I am surprised that you are limited to 150-200 Kb/s. Even though I use the 11 Mb/s limit that is the default for SoftMac, I get 3-400 KB/s when downloading from www.kernel.org, which

I've been monitoring this list for a while but haven't posted yet. I have an HP DV2020 laptop with a built-in PCI-E 4311 card. I did manage to get bcm43xx working, which made me very happy since I couldn't get ndiswrapper to work with it. I used a pci-e patch for bcm43xx that I found on
