[Bug 653945] [NEW] MacBook Pro 5.2 - Wifi unusable (wl driver)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Since I update to Maverick my Wifi is unusable (really!) slow. It worked
fine on Lucid. I know this might be a wl driver issue, but according the
packages.ubuntu.com the driver is the same on Lucid and Maverick.

Here what I tried (found in forums):

1. iwconfig eth1 set power off
-> improves the situation, but only partly. Without this I get download rates < 10k/s. After this command the download rates (e.g. in ktorrent) steadily change from < 10k/s to > 900k/s *and back*. Up and down the whole time.

2. Recompiling the kernel and without "CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS".
-> No change.

This is an unfortunate regression from Lucid and I really hope it can be
fixed.
