One important note about support for BCM4331 (specifically for the PHY
it uses) is that it is reverse-engineered and very much suboptimal and
incomplete. 802.11n support is completely missing.

I did some tests on a Macbook Pro 8,2 with iperf and got similar numbers
for TCP download. My upload speeds were comparable to the download
speeds, which doesn't match your results. I don't really know what can
be done to fix it though; we really just don't know how to properly
configure the hardware. Broadcom indicated at one point that they have
plans to support BCM4331 in brcmsmac, but there's been no indication of
when this might happen.
