[Bug 669725] Re: Ubuntu 10.10 - Wireless packet loss using Broadcom STA driver on Macbook Pro 5, 2

** Description changed:

  I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 (alt install) as a second partition on
  my Macbook Pro (5,2). After installation, I went to
  System->Adminstration->Additional Drivers and activated my NVIDIA
  accelerated graphics driver (version current) as well as the Broadcom
  STA wireless driver.
  
  Rebooted, both worked, but I noticed that my connection was intermittent
  at best. Web pages were timing out, SSH sessions were spotty, and
  updating Ubuntu (the download portion) took over an hour ( ~ 100
  packages).
  
  I pinged google for a while:
  
  --- google.com ping statistics ---
  216 packets transmitted, 173 received, 19% packet loss, time 240438ms
  rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 20.316/68.300/205.230/49.727 ms
  
  Here's yahoo:
  
  --- yahoo.com ping statistics ---
  246 packets transmitted, 224 received, 8% packet loss, time 385430ms
  rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 33.256/59.871/334.379/48.785 ms
  
  
  All other wireless devices do not have this issue, and when I boot into OSX, the wireless card works perfectly (transfer speeds are useful/reliable with no packet loss).
  
  Let me know if you need more information.
  
  Thanks!
