Hi,

Installed the compat-wireless-2009-03-10 and the speed has greatly
improved. Thanks very much.

I do have some observations that might be a bug or just configuration.

When powering up, the wireless decided on 54M as its bit rate.
Consequently, tcp was patchy at best - losing packets whilst pinging, s=
sh
failing to connect. Setting the rate back to a fixed 11M solves this an=
d
gives good speed. Interestingly, performance declines as I up the bit r=
ate
from 11 to 18 etc...

Of course, simple specifying the RATE in the ifcfg-wlan0 as 11M sorts t=
his
perfectly.

Anyway, thanks and regards

PGR
