Hi, Installed the compat-wireless-2009-03-10 and the speed has greatly improved. Thanks very much. I do have some observations that might be a bug or just configuration. When powering up, the wireless decided on 54M as its bit rate. Consequently, tcp was patchy at best - losing packets whilst pinging, ssh failing to connect. Setting the rate back to a fixed 11M solves this and gives good speed. Interestingly, performance declines as I up the bit rate from 11 to 18 etc... Of course, simple specifying the RATE in the ifcfg-wlan0 as 11M sorts this perfectly. Anyway, thanks and regards PGR -- Laws are partly formed for the sake of good men, in order to instruct them how they may live on friendly terms with one another, and partly for the sake of those who refuse to be instructed, whose spirit cannot be subdued, or softened, or hindered from plunging into evil.
