issued 'sudo rm bcm43xx*' in /lib/firmware/2.6.22-7-386 to remove the kernel-specific bcm43xx firmware then rebooted with the 2.6.22-7 kernel
Now bcm43xx driver is unselected in Restricted Drivers again, but my maximum speed on the gutsy kernel is still about 30 kB/s.
Thus I conclude the problem is not in the firmware but rather somewhere in the kernel itself. Looks like I'll be booting the feisty kernel until someone gets this regression figured out.
Didn't get the result I expected:
