Found some relevant comments about why the speed of the connection may be lower than expected. http://lwn.net/Articles/278191/
To quote it here: "At the moment the semi-free madwifi is more reliable than ath5k with 2.6.25-rc kernels[*], due (I suspect) to problems with the mac80211 layer being rather too aggressive in reducing the link speed in face of less than ideal signal conditions. Signal quality/level monitoring (using wavemon) suggests that unsmoothed values are causing the rate algorithms to believe that conditions are worse than they actually are. I see similar problems with the in-kernel rt2500 driver." And in another comment from there "It appears to be tweakable via debugfs." - http://linuxwireless.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211/RateControl/PID Hope this is helpful to some ... -- Ralink rt2400 / rt2500 / rt2570 / rt61 / rt73 do not work out of the box in Gutsy/Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134660 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
