Comment 19 for bug 37765

Hi.
I was able to solve my issue by executing "sudo iwconfig eth1 rate 5.5M".
The only issue related to broadcom left (for me) is the lights being always on as reported in another bug.

Read here for further information: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/124159

Could you please verify if this solves your problems, too?
