Bug#958566: b43-fwcutter: Wifi Broadcom at BCM4311 very slow after installing new firmware-b43-installer_019-5_all.deb



Package: b43-fwcutter
Version: 1:019-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

After the recent upgrade to package firmware-b43-installer_019-5_all wifi
connection was extremely slow causing e.g. timeouts at Firefox.
This package contains firmware version 6.30.163.46
To solve the problem I had to reinstall firmware-b43-installer_019-4_all with
firmware version 5.100.138.
Probably the new version is not compatible network controller BCM4311.
