That's a little scary given that I've never had a Broadcom device with drivers that worked the first time around. Dropped connections, low speed, not connecting, etc. Broadcom needs to work on their software a bit more. I hope that more OEMs switch away from them and go with other vendors instead.

@ddpruitt I MUCH have broadcom over atheros. Atheros can be so crappy at times.
