Bug Description

With Ubuntu Jaunty i386 (fully updated using http://pastebin.ca/1431792), b43legacy kernel driver generates about 5-15% of packet loss when testing the connection. (pinging the wifi AP).

I tried the Karmic kernel (Linux 2.6.30-5-generic). Using it, the wifi connection is very good, fast, stable, no packet loss. When using b43/b43legacy it is very important to use the latest version available in the mainstream kernel tree, so I recommend backporting it from Karmic.

WiFi device: 04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
