b43 is great with the 4.x drivers from openwrt in 2.6.24+ on fedora.
however i did more tinkering yesterday.
Turns out the problem is with my isp - sometimes i hate being in the uk.
Tried ssh -Y on another local machine with different public ip address
and had the same problem
so it isn't the laptop.
i then set up an instance of CentOS5 on amazon's ec2 service (love that btw)
i then ssh -Y firefox using that instead
Even with the trans-atlantic roundtrip and through the
encryption/decryption it was nice and responsive compared to a local
copy.
Partner now happy as she can browse next store online without getting upset.
:-)
Time to change providers, thinking of zen adsl or andrews and arnold.
wpa_supplicant seems to work well for me using WPA2-personal
sorry for the noise
mike
