I tested your patch on my 4318, and it seems performance and stability
are pretty much the same as unpatched wireless-testing. Here's what
dmesg has to say:
# dmesg | grep b43

and the exact description of my card:
# lspci -vn
0001:10:12.0 0280: 14e4:4318 (rev 02)
Subsystem: 106b:4318
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 16, IRQ 52
Memory at 80084000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb
I transfered some files around using both patched and unpatched
wireless-testing, and I get very similar results in both cases:
around 2.6 MB/s upload and 3.5 MB/s download. This is a couple rooms
away from the AP, with a signal quality of 58/100.
I will continue using this kernel for some time, and will report back
here if I notice anything peculiar.
I hope I didn't forget anything useful, but the bottom line is that I
didn't see any difference between patched and unpatched
wireless-testing, and if you need me to run some more tests, I'd be
happy to; please let me know.
