I too keep wondering if there's something up with the wpi driver
recently (except the classically buggy firmware, but that's a known
issue). My thinkpad R60 came with one of these built in, and support
went from so-so to good and stayed fine for months, but now during the
last week or so it's oddly shaky again (running snapshots rougly as
they appear on the mirrors).
Basically network performance with wpi sucks, plug in my rum (usb wifi
dongle), route flush and ifconfig+dhclient, performance is in the
useful range again. The change for the worse happened sometime within
the last week as far as I can tell.
Compared with my rum, the wpi gets worse signal strength if I read the
ifconfig output correctly:
