Hi,

Miles described a b43 speed problem in the thread

	=EF=BB=BF2.6.25-rc9 -- bcm4306 performance is in the toilet

(over 2.6.24) and not being able to see anything from his logs/packet
captures/... I asked him to bisect. This resulted in

commit 61bca6eb85c863603d6054530e2f65c3b9aba85b
Author: Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@polimi.it>
Date:   Tue Nov 6 22:49:05 2007 +0100

    b43: rewrite A PHY initialization

which is a huge commit and hence a bit of a problem. Does anyone have
suggestions how to proceed?

I have very similar hardware, maybe this card is affected by the
boardflags problems we found recently? Miles, can you give us
 * lspci -vn -s =EF=BB=BF01:06.0
 * the kernel init messages when ssb is built with debugging

johannes
