Since the device is working at low speeds for you, you might experiment
with limiting the maximum rate so as to avoid rate oscillations:
iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M auto
You could then experiment to see if you can bump the rate higher.
Thanks, John,
I really can get a rate of 36 or even 54 Mb/s now! It's on F8 that, for
the first time now, I can get the b43 driver running - on F<8 I always
had to switch to bcm43xx.
The only problem left with networking is the recent wpa_supplicant bug
which seems to have struck me too (not to mention NetworkManager ...).
Even with the latest update (0.5.7-16) wpa_supplicant won't start at
boot time. So, to connect to my wireless, I have to give the following
sequence of commands (as root):
ifconfig wlan0 up
service wpa_supplicant start
dhclient
