Oh. Indeed.  While I enabled it, I recompiled only drivers/net/wireless,
but not net/.  Rebuilt, another trace is here --

Thanks,

Just to confirm. With this trace you also get a stall during wget?

Yes.  Initially it started d/loading but some time later the d/load speed
reduced to 0.  It is possible to wait further, and after some more time
it will receive some more bytes/kilobytes/packets and stall again.  Overall
progress is nearing zero.

I looked at the log. I see download commence because the packets received of 1562 bytes length. So within one second I see little over 200 packets so approx. 3Mbps which is not impressive but I don't know what can be expected. Indeed after that it stalls and we only seem to receive small packets of 179 bytes that seem to end up in cfg80211_mgmt_rx. It could be that the hardware is somehow bogged and can not receive at higher modulations as management frames are transmitted at lower rates. The hardware will drop packets that are having FCS (aka. checksum) errors. The brcmsmac is missing some code to read fcs error count from hardware, but I will get back to you with a patch that we can use to confirm this.

Arend
