Provide some technical details please. > 02:03.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4320] (rev 02) Here are the Google hits I referenced: http://www.google.com/search?q=bcm43xx+1+mb%2Fs+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=iceweasel-a#hl=en&client=iceweasel-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&sa=X&ei=sZPeTd71IJTZiAKfxdnqCg&sqi=2&ved=0CBUQBSgA&q=wireless+1Mb/s+linux&spell=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=859f00ba5791172e&biw=1680&bih=858 What else should I provide? Using vanilla Squeeze, wicd as wireless manager. Already configured wicd wireless-settings.conf to be 54 Mb/s but the RX rate remains slow. Was curious if anyone had figured out a workaround.
