Summary0000606: b43 - BCM4318 (AirForce One 54g)
Description

Running fresh install 1.0.5, i have ALOT of wifi cards/chipsets and now im on this bcm4318 (AirForce One 54g). It got some problems with scanning/jumping channels on several tools. It also disconnects sometimes without debugging me why. I will state some outputs.

Additional Information

This card and most of my Ralink cards are easy to change 'iw reg set BO' to increase the txpower from 20 to 30, but on this is jumps back after 10-20 minutes. Something missing? ASK ME FOR IT PLS

If you have an Broadcom USB device, please use the rndis_wlan driver. The b43/b43legacy driver is not meant to support this device.

Known issues:

BCM4318 chipset: AP mode does not work because of packet loss in high transmission rates. Hard to debug & fix.
