Hi, I have a bcm4306 card in my desktop machine. I am running a build of 2.6.25-rc9. I have tried fiddling with the network build options and no matter what I select, my network performance is absolutely terrible (between 0 - 24KBps). Connections take around 10-20 seconds to establish. I have a cable modem, and usually see nearly instantaneous connections and between 65-600KBps throughput. I just tried downloading something and am seeing this: 223B/s. Everything is intermittent and and often times out. I am attempting to collect a log for you to analyze. However, I am running into some snags. 1) The latest firmware, which is called for in the latest kernel code, won't work with my Ubuntu 8.10 kernel (2.6.24-16-386). I got the latest iw git code downloaded, but it won't build for me: # make CC interface.o interface.c: In function ‘get_if_type’: interface.c:50: error: ‘NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT’ undeclared (first use in this function) interface.c:50: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once interface.c:50: error: for each function it appears in.) interface.c: In function ‘handle_interface_add’: interface.c:121: error: ‘NL80211_ATTR_MESH_ID’ undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [interface.o] Error 1 I built with a bunch of network and wireless debugging options enabled and am seeing this is my kernel log: [ 1959.456654] phy0: TX to low-level driver (len=68) FC=0x4108 DUR=0x00da A1=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba A2=00:0c:e5:53:2c:3e A3=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba [ 1959.816931] phy0: TX to low-level driver (len=104) FC=0x4108 DUR=0x00da A1=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba A2=00:0c:e5:53:2c:3e A3=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba [ 1960.485441] phy0: TX to low-level driver (len=68) FC=0x4108 DUR=0x00da A1=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba A2=00:0c:e5:53:2c:3e A3=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba [ 1962.493413] phy0: TX to low-level driver (len=295) FC=0x4108 DUR=0x00da A1=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba A2=00:0c:e5:53:2c:3e A3=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba [ 1962.591237] phy0: TX to low-level driver (len=112) FC=0x4108 DUR=0x00da A1=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba A2=00:0c:e5:53:2c:3e A3=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba [ 1962.591824] phy0: TX to low-level driver (len=112) FC=0x4108 DUR=0x00da A1=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba A2=00:0c:e5:53:2c:3e A3=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba [ 1963.590056] phy0: TX to low-level driver (len=51) FC=0x0040 DUR=0x00da A1=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba A2=00:0c:e5:53:2c:3e A3=00:1b:2f:0e:ed:ba [ 1963.696498] printk: 6 messages suppressed.
