Hi Larry Could you perform your benchmark test on brcmsmac without the bcma patches. It kind of surprises me that we are that far off compared to the wl driver.
I wondered about that myself. Upon investigation, my test with bcma/brcmsmac never worked. Without the patches, my netperf numbers for brcmsmac are RX 40.0 and TX 59.7 Mbps.In all cases, the reported number is the maximum of 10 tries of 3 sec each.
With the patches, my dmesg contains the following: [ 908.282281] bcma: Bus registered [ 908.353242] brcmsmac bcma0:0: mfg 4bf core 812 rev 23 class 0 irq 22 [ 908.380164] ieee80211 phy0: wl0: brcms_b_attach: si_attach failed [ 908.380184] ieee80211 phy0: wl0: brcms_b_attach: failed with err 11 [ 908.380192] ieee80211 phy0: wl0: brcms_c_attach: failed with err 11 [ 908.380316] ieee80211 phy0: brcmsmac: attach() failed with code 11 [ 908.380379] brcmsmac: brcms_bcma_probe: brcms_attach failed!
