Subject: Performance of BCM43224 (14e4:4353)
Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2011 18:46:06 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EE15A4E.1090500@lwfinger.net> (raw)
Guys,
I just added the patches that let brcmsmac use bcma, and tested the TX and RX
rates using netperf. The results are
Driver RX TX
brcmsmac 21.7 6.2
b43 15.0 6.0
wl 43.5 73.5
The AP is running in 802.11n mode and has throughput of 40-60 Mbps in both
directions with an RTL8192CE, thus both open-source drivers have room for
improvement.
I am using the following firmware:
b43-phy0: Loading firmware version 666.2 (2011-02-23 01:15:07)
With b43 and mac80211 debugging turned on, I see a lot of
wlan13: detected beacon loss from AP - sending probe request
Larry
