hey,
I'm currently using the b43 driver for my BCM4311 chipset. The driver
works extremely well. It is the only option under Linux that supports
WPA-AES with wpa_supplicant :) (and it's more stable than
wpa_supplicant). However, I'm seeing some unexpected behaviour with the
card and another chipset. When I enable my soundcard (setting volume
from 0 to > 0) the wireless signal seems to drop completely (really
funny to see my downloadspeeds go up and down :) ). My question is, is
this normal?
However, I'm not sure if this is related to the b43 driver so don't
flame me ;)
TIA, Ronald
