I got:
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 2147M  100 2147M    0     0  2246k      0  0:16:18  0:16:18 --:--:-- 1842k

real    16m18.774s
user    0m27.340s
sys     0m36.350s

This is ~ 17.55Mbit/s for file transfer.
What is much, much better. Thank you.

Are these changes(3.16 [slow b43] vs 3.18 [fast b43]) located 
in drivers/net/wireless/b43?
I would like to port them(changes) to my 3.16 kernel.

By the way, during test connection was hang,
and I can not ping any machine outside of my notebook.

I rmmod/modprobe b43, restart wpa_supplicant/dhcpcd
and all back to normal. 
And after restart I was unable to reproduce it(bug).
dmesg also show nothing. Any hints how to debug such
kind of issues, if I see it again?
