driver under either a 2.6.25 or a 2.6.26 kernel and tell me the browser
download performances compared to the previous driver version browser
download performances ?
Identical. Downloading that file both before and after show a rate avg. of
about 5.8 kB/s. My ISP rate-limits to around 6 kB/s, so this test will be
useless to you if, for example, you are seeing speeds before at 30 kB/s and
now at 20 kB/s, as I'd not be able to hit those either way. While the avg. is
usually around 6 kB/s, there are peeks that go higher. During this test it hit
12 kB/s for a moment. ( The Links browser reports average download speed. This
is what I used for this test. )
See the attachment for details.
