Could this be the reason my BCM94311MCG rev 1 receives such terrible performance with b43 but works well with bcm43xx? The device is 802.11b/g but my router is 802.11b. I filed a report on this issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=413291
No. On my BCM4311/1, my transfer rate peaked at about 12 Mbs with bcm43xx, but increased to 20 Mbs with b43. These tests were done with iperf with a server running running on a second computer connected by wire to my router. These rates are for 802.11g. When my interface was locked at 11 Mbs, the transfer rate was the expected 5.3-5.5 Mbs with both drivers.
I was told by Michael that I would have to fix it myself, and I am trying, but the learning curve is a little steep. If this is relevant, I might at least have some direction to go in.
I suspect that mac80211 is doing something that your router does not like. Do you have any chance to capture the traffic between your computer and the router by using a second wireless computer running kismet or wireshark? A look at the differences between b43 and bcm43xx should show the reason.
