I am testing this patch applied to the wireless-net git tree. The card is a Linksys WPC54G. The card is still getting very weak signal strength and the connection seems unresponsive most of the time. lspci shows: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller

the card. It looks like it is an earlier revision. The performance seems the same. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
