Message-ID: <a44ae5cd0702101530j38c983bfy9c1496fd50ca8b1c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I am testing this patch applied to the wireless-net git tree.
The card is a Linksys WPC54G.  The card is still getting very
weak signal strength and the connection seems unresponsive
most of the time.

lspci shows:
Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN
Controller (rev 02)

Here is the output of "dmesg | grep bcm":

I just tried the firmware that was included with the card.  It looks
like it is an earlier revision.  The performance seems the same.
