You could patch either the linux-2.6 kernel (2.6.39-rc7), the

That patch didn't seem to have an effect -- the receive rate still
settles at about 60Kb/s.
I patched the Debian linux-2.6 source package and rebuilt the kernel.
The Debian kernel appeared to already have the wifi.h diff.
Please let me know if I can help further.
Strange. With that patch in my system running with the current wireless-testing
kernel, I get 19.8 Mbps download and 17.3 Mbps upload using tcpperf. The box at
the other end is wired to my router/AP. The wireless connection is configured
for 270 Mbps, thus rtl8192cu is not driving it at full rates, but that
performance should be satisfactory.
Please run the following command for a couple of minutes to see what rate you get:
wget
http://ftp.utexas.edu/opensuse/factory/iso/openSUSE-NET-x86_64-Build0018-Media.iso
That mirror might not be the best one for you to use, but that should be the
best one to duplicate my results.
On my system, the instantaneous download rate ranges between 250 and 700 K/s.
Without the patch, the rate is 48 K/s.
