what actually is the metric for poor performance? I can offer this: computer1 is connected to my local net via fast ethernet. It has a file of 500MB containing pseudo random numbers. I access this from computer2 via WLAN using: scp 10.0.0.30:/home/test500mb /dev/null and get these results for tra

Perhaps this is dependant on the actual model of wifi card/dongle, and only partially related to the ath5k driver itself. Of course distance, EFI, obstacles are a factor in wifi signals, but I would've expected there to be a significant increase as Gregory described. Frederick, Gregory and flasban
