Re: [gentoo-user] iwl4965 performance
Hi, Have you tried using the driver from the 2.6.24* series kernel? I've been using iwl3945 from tuxonice-sources 2.6.24-r3 without any performance or stability problems whatsoever. Good luck.

Thanks Thomas When I switched to iwl3945 I had problems with a very unstable connection (just stable enough to allow wpa_supplicant to recover), decreasing effective bandwidth a lot. Enabling every suboption except of debugging for Intel Wireless WiFi Link Drivers in the kernel resolved it. Does it work with kernel 2.6.24? Maybe you could try wpa_supplicant with debugging enabled? wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -d or even wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi again, the problem seems to be related to WEP Encryption. Today I tried in a WPA-Enterprise Network and it was much faster and more responsive too... I will give the subobtions and 2.6.24 kernel a try anyway. Thanks Tom Thomas Kahle wrote: | Hi, | | I am using the iwl4965 driver which is included in the kernel | 2.6.25-rc6.
