Subject: Rate-setting problem with Broadcom 4315
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:55:11 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AE49F0F.1060901@lwfinger.net> (raw)

When my BCM4312 (ID 4315) runs in auto rate mode, the rate stays at
1Mb/s. If I manually set the rate, I see a tcpperf throughput ~1/2 the
rate that I set through a rate of 12 Mb/s. At 36 Mb/s, the rate is
best at 15.7 Mb/s. Why does mistrel not increase the rate?

The output of /sys/..../rc_stats is:
