The "stuck-at-1Mb" problem happens a few times recently, for different
reasons - I suggest doing an "iwconfig rate <something>" and/or
"iwconfig rate <something> auto" to see if it works better. (the
latter means if it can take auto, so it is different from the former).
I say use the latest compat-wireless tarball whenever you need to
re-compile. If a problem persists, then ask. Note that if you let it
idle for a long time the rate change machanism will down-regulate.
(i.e. you should check *while* you are trying to push a lot of traffic
through).

About dates in wireless-testing log - I had an impression (I could be
wrong) that the dates are sometimes git-format-patch/posting dates and
not dates at which John commits to wireless-testing? (i.e. the dates
shown could be a lot earlier than time of commit, or time of commit is
not shown by the dates associated with a patch - I thought this makes
sense since the date of a patch should be the first time it appears in
the "system", not the first time it gets in-coporated in a particular
tree, and patches can go between trees and should *not* pick up date
change on the way).
