Hello,
I need wlan with >60Mb/s. Additionally, 2.4GHz is overloaded. 5GHz should be used. Especially the channels >=100 are completely free. The network controller is:
Code:
0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000d]
Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: ssb
802.11n and channels >=100 do work with Windows XP. The 5GHz Channels <100 are OK, too.
On Ubuntu 12.04 the best what I get is wl:
Code:
eth1 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"XXXX"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.427 GHz Access Point: 00:24:FE:08:D1:AB
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=200 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=66/70 Signal level=-44 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:54 Missed beacon:0
802.11n doesn't work. 5Ghz works but without channels >=100 (I use "iwlist wlan1 frequency").

5GHZ doesn't work at all and I get <12Mb/s.

ndiswrapper:
iwconfig says just 802.11g is supported. 5GHZ doesn't work. I can connect with 2.4 GHz to a Access Point and I get a IP from the DHCP. But no other data can be transferred. Maybe a problem with the encryption?
I posted no logs, because I don't know how I should continue (which driver?). The syslog seems ok for all drivers. I hoped ndiswrapper would work, because the Windows driver works.
Any suggestions? Or should I buy an other controller?
