I'm not sure what you mean by the final sentence. Could you elaborate? Are you saying that your _problem_ was caused by not using iwconfig 'too fast'? Or fast enough? I believe there are people who can't associate, or can't do DHCP, until they reduce the rate from 54Mbps to something lower. I _can_ associate at 54Mbps and pick up both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses -- but even when I'm within a metre of the AP I see many lost packets at 54Mbps. Testing it with a large download from a local machine shows that in reality it's _much_ faster if I switch to 11Mbps. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
