At least those are the only ones in the database. BCM4312, old patch: 1.7M/s no patch: 26k/s no patch, rate 1: 100k/s new patch: 1.7M/s new patch, rate 1: 1.1M/s new patch, rate 2: 1.5M/s new patch, rate 5.5: 1.7M/s new patch, rate 18: 2.2M/s new patch, rate 36: 2.2M/s Yes, it looks like the new patch is as good as the previous one for my card. The rates are reported by wget, so they are not nearly precise, but the difference of 2 orders of magnitude just cannot be explained by anything other than the fix to the driver. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
