I've my 2.31 kernel running (from archlinux repositories) and compat-wireless 2009-11-06 and now not even with pid i get it working good. It goes to the max rate available. >From the distance that I'm from the AP i have to limit the rate to 11Mbps I'll compile wireless testing and i'll post the statistics, or if someone tell the information they need to debug it i'll post it. -- Martín Ernesto Barreyro <barreyromartin@xxxxxxxxx> Analista Universitario en Redes de Datos. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
