Odd. I have 1.1.0/1.4.9 firmware on my card and it works like a champ with Marko's patch. I was not aware that newer firmware was available. Guess I need to go look for the new firmware. I saw much better performance than this on my system. I moved over 850 MB of data at an average of 531 MB/sec and a peak of 622 MB/sec. That translates to a peak over 5 Mb/s and an average of over 4.3 Mb/s. This was with scp. With ttcp I see transmit speed of 4.1 Mb/s but a receive speed of only 1.3 Mb/s. This is to an AP. The problems seemed to start for me after the upgrade to 1.4.9 so maybe the latest will get things back to normal. I don't often use dhclient, but I have seen no problems when I do. (I use Lars Eggert's location.sh to set up my network for my "normal" wireless access.) -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
