Comment 7 for bug 432780

I have had nothing but troubles with this BCM4322 wireless n card in my macbook pro 5,5; difficulties connecting, periodic system crashes, tons of dropped packets and overall poor performance (1-2mbps is my typical throughput)

I manually updated to the 5.60.48.36 driver by downloading from the Broadcom website (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php) and renaming all wl.ko files I had to wl.ko.orig, then copying the new wl.ko driver in their places (you can follow directions in the readme.txt on the site)

So far, I've been able to do a few sleeps, connections are much easier and the performance has been much, much better. Most importantly, no crashes so far.

I hope this new driver makes it into the repositories soon as it already seems to be a significant improvement over the previous version, especially for those of us who have no other options (I can't use b43 or ndiswrapper)
