I'm getting a sustained 1.7 megabytes per second over FTP with 4312
(PCIe card in Dell Latitude).  The connection to a 802.11g AP was
established instantaneously.

I have never had much success with the softmac driver at all.  Now it's
working better than the d80211 driver, with waits for minutes before it
starts talking to the same 802.11g AP.

I think it's a 2.6.20.1 material, considering its gain/changes ratio.
I'm actually going to compile this kernel without debug and keep it as a
"production" kernel.

Congratulations and many many thanks!
