Bug Description

Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter

Some months ago, I noticed that connections at the local library had become very slow (30KB/s). They use WPA and BlueSocket. I thought that this was due to a change at the library, but I just tried reverting to FW13 using b43-fwcutter and instantly noticed much, much faster connections. I guess things must have changed when I started using FW15.

I am using 10.10 on a PPC Powerbook G4.

Ok, so the next time I tried using the connection, it was slow again, so this could be unrelated to FW15/FW13.
