Uhm, the solution might be as simple as doing "iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M |
| 26 |
fixed". However, I just noticed that the linuxwireless page about b43 |
| 27 |
has changed since yesterday; there are new instructions regarding the |
| 28 |
versions of firmware and fwcutter tool to use (011), and specific info |
| 29 |
regarding kernel 2.6.24. Check it out: |

| 32 |
|

Tomorrow I too am going to try the new instructions, and read some docs |
| 34 |
to at least try understanding what's going on with the new driver |
| 35 |
architecture (the *80211 stuff). |
