Connectivity issues | Explanation of Broadcom-STA driver module option

Hello all,

Im living connectivity issues with my notebook,my wireless chip is Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n
Im using Broadcom-STA driver and when i move to 10-15 meters away from modem connectivity issues (hard to connect to any site,slow speed) starts.

parm:           passivemode:int
parm:           wl_txq_thresh:int
parm:           oneonly:int
parm:           piomode:int
parm:           instance_base:int
parm:           nompc:int
parm:           intf_name:string

So im looking for solutions and i think i need to configure module options of "wl"  (the STA driver) so what all those parm values,options mean ? do anyone know them ?

thanks in advance.

Please post the output of iwconfig and of iw phy.
Be sure to use BBCode code tags around your output. (iw phy will be long)
