I just wanted to show my total agreement and support with Nicolo
Chieffo. Furthermore I must add this frustrating behaviour does not only
occur with bcm4311 rev 2 but also with the bcm4312 card which I happen
to have...
This are my lspci -vvnn specs
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g

As I read in http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#supported
bcm4311 rev 2 / bcm4312 (needs patches for 2.6.24)
how/where can I find such patches?... can the ubuntu kernel team
backport them (or however it is called) to 2.6.24-?
With a 2.6.25-rc5 kernel that I built last month, my b43 was working
(finally) with great speed, possibility to join Ad-Hoc networks and the
rest....
I am now back to using 2.6.24-15.27 with ubuntu 8.04 and the connection
speed is lame, and am unable to join Ad-Hoc....
I also think it would be great if the patch found in 2.6.25-rc# to
ubuntu hardy's final kernel, it would pretty much guarantee all
broadcomm cards to start working great after the firmware update.
