For the OpenELEC project I am looking into getting better performance out of the b43 driver on the AppleTV (1st gen) device . The website reports the driver can do 802.11n (albeit on 2.4Ghz only), however using kernel 3.7.5 (and earlier) I cannot get more than 3 MB/sec out of it (usually much less).
I wanted to add the kernel boot messages: ---- root ~ # dmesg | grep b43 [ 2.902696] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4321 WLAN found (core revision 12) [ 2.976740] b43-phy0: Found PHY: Analog 5, Type 4 (N), Revision 2 [ 2.976772] b43-phy0 debug: Found Radio: Manuf 0x17F, Version 0x2055, Revision 4 [ 3.038609] Registered led device: b43-phy0::tx [ 3.040268] Registered led device: b43-phy0::rx [ 3.040433] Registered led device: b43-phy0::radio [ 4.736728] b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 508.1084 (2009-01-14 01:32:01) [ 4.807784] b43-phy0 debug: Chip initialized [ 4.808074] b43-phy0 debug: 64-bit DMA initialized [ 4.808142] b43-phy0 debug: QoS enabled [ 4.833456] b43-phy0 debug: Wireless interface started [ 4.833526] b43-phy0 debug: Adding Interface type 2 [ 7.837659] b43-phy0 debug: Using hardware based encryption for keyidx: 0, mac: 74:44:01:8d:90:5e [ 7.838009] b43-phy0 debug: Using hardware based encryption for keyidx: 1, mac: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ---- Kind regards, -- -- dag wieers, dag@xxxxxxxxxx, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- dagit linux solutions, info@xxxxxxxxx, http://dagit.net/ [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] -- 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
