Hello There !
Using patches provided by TI we successfully added support for the WL1835 to our Freescale iMX6 board that runs Linux 3.10.17. However, the throughput is quite disappointing. 10Mbit/sec Rx and about 20Mbit/sec Tx. Other clients on the same Wifi AP consistently get 36Mbit/sec Rx and 62Mb/sec Tx. Tests are completed using iperf and the iMX processor is not busy.
We are not using Bluetooth at this moment and I used wlconf to set number of 2.4Ghz antennas to 1 and 5Ghz antennas to 0. iw station dump shows strong signal, see below. I'm not quite sure how to proceed troubleshooting this.
