Hey everyone,

I'm running B43 from compat-wireless-3.0_rc4-r4 with the BCM4322 in my
macbook pro 5,2.  It seems to work, except that every AP shows full
signal strength / quality. Is this a known issue or should I be doing
something to debug this? Beyond that, the connection is sometimes
unstable and slower than broadcom's WL.

However, monitor mode and injection work great on B43.  Scanning/init
also seems to be much faster using B43.  With WL, it takes significantly
longer to connect to my AP after boot or waking from suspend.

Can someone also verify that I'm using the correct firmware?
