I just got a Ricoh chipset based PCI-PCMCIA setup... originally I had been using the Intel chipset for almost a year and a half now (I do wireless developing for our company) and I just noticed that the speed is better! Transfering an 8meg file through our wireless links only took apx 55 seconds for the Ricoh chipset and with the Intel chipset it took 1 minute 47 seconds!
Its not related to the card either. I have tried Avaya's, Orinoco's and Buffalo's cards. All Silver. Now for the Ricoh chipset I DID have to add to /etc/default/pcmcia to the PCIC_OPTS= stuff.. "irq_mode=0" to get it working... and after that it has reduced the signal strength but also the noise levels by apx 3dBm in iwconfig. but it increased the signal quality!? And obviously increased the thoroughput. Has anybody seen or heard of this happening? Anybody done testing like this? Also the machines are identical. Same board, processor, ram, the works. If anybody has seen this happen and can explain why? or just an explanation period would be great! Either way I'm going to Ricoh!
