I'm using a BCM4311 (broadcom) card on an oldish laptop I aquired, but I'm having some trouble with the bwi driver. The main problem is the speed slows down on larger files. I dropped the MTU down to 1200, which helps a ton with web browsing simple pages, but adding packages or downloading videos is a pain.
I was just wondering if there was any alternative driver I could use. Linux always has ndiswrapper, and that can often be the better option. Doesfreebsd FreeBSD offer anything similar perhaps?
edit: upon further inspection, the main thing is the range is horrible. I need to be within pretty much ten feet of the wireless router to get a decent speed using the bwi drivers.
