Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter

Hardware:

02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One
54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install proprietary Broadcom firmware via Jockey
2. Try to download something either form Internet or local LAN.

What happens:

Maximum download speed you get is 90 kb/s, irrespectively of actual
network bandwidth.

What should happen:

The speed should be appropriate to your actual bandwidth's capacity.

OpenFWWF (http://www.ing.unibs.it/openfwwf/) firmware with the same card
works at full speed.
