Hi everybody!
I've recently switched from Ubuntu to Fedora 10 to escape a nasty
problem I'm having but without luck.
I have a DELL Inspiron 640m / e1405 notebook based on a Centrino
chipset with an Intel 3945abg WiFi card and my network connection is
painfully slow. I have a 16MBit/s ADSL connection (according to the
router 14069 kbit/s down and 1189 kbit/s up) and when trying a speed
test I get the following results with Epiphany on Fedora 10:
Down: 200 - 250 kbit/s
Up: 60-80 kbit/s

With Internet Explorer 7 on Windows I get the following:
Down: 7500 - 9700 kbit/s
Up: ~1100 kbit/s

I tried it 3 times on both OS's and within about 10 minutes. The
results from my Fedora tests are way better than expected, because it
sometimes takes up to 5 minutes to open google...

The WiFi network I'm connected to is a WPA encrypted G network with
the AP about 5 meters away from my notebook.

I already did some googling but so far I haven't sound anything that
helped. I even tried the Windows drivers using ndsiwrapper but I
couldnt get them to load properly.

The following is the output from lspci:
