Billionton bluetooth CF card: performance is 10KB/sec

[Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>]

Hi!

Ping time is around 50msec, and that seems pretty much okay, but
10KB/sec seems like way too low.

I am limited to 10KB/sec both on linux-to-linux bnetp transfers and it
limits my transfer rates using edge and n6230, too :-(.

Ping times during transfer:

Netdev watchdog complains a lot:

I use this to set up billionton:

setserial /dev/ttyBT baud_base 921600
hciattach -s 921600 /dev/ttyBT bcsp

root@amd:~# tcpspray -n 1 -b 1000000 10.1.0.3

Transmitted 1000000 bytes in 163.256781 seconds (5.982 kbytes/s)

(okay, this was little slower, I was far from other side). Most tests
look like this:

root@amd:~# tcpspray -n 1 -b 1000000 10.1.0.3

Transmitted 1000000 bytes in 103.183640 seconds (9.464 kbytes/s)
