same here on a hp G72
Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY
While on battery power file transfers of files to a local network machile are limited to around 150KB/sec
when on AC power the full speed is achieved.

steps to reproduce: (Note I have a 5 mb connection)
while on ac power go to speakeast.net/speedtest and choose a location.
max speed is 4.3mbs

unplug AC and rerun same test.
max speed is now 1.5mbs

Tested under windows 7 and full speed is achieved independent of power source.

also this is a 802.11n also, however it is not reported in lspci
