I am assuming that one is enough for the speed difference? Will these
patches be in next kernel releases?

That's not the one I was thinking of, does it apply? Look for his
combined patches.

John,
One "trivial", counter-intuitive suggestion until you get an updated kernel is
to set your rate to 1
Mbs using iwconfig. For some reason, that cuts the error rate in transmissions,
and both your
download and upload speeds will improve.
Larry
Thanks.
I was looking for some binary solution for now, as my fedora kernel is
Linux laptop 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Mar 19 11:38:26 EDT 2007
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
And I have stopped compiling own kernels due to lack of time.
However, it seems that is not possible.
Thanks though.

I'm going to move all v4 workarounds needed for the A and G PHY setup into a
separate file (draft inlined here), as it'll easily get to ~1000 lines, and
I wouldn't really want to make a mess out of _phy.c. These workarounds
are strictly needed for A PHY support (which I'm currently working on)

in ZONE_DMA. When the network stack passes us TX buffers that cannot be mapped
because of the limitation, allocate a bounce buffer in ZONE_DMA and copy the

Tonight I downloaded the 2.6.20.6 kernel and the combined patch from
ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches . Patched the kernel source and rebooted
into the new kernel. I used to get decent speeds with just a regular
2.6.20.5 kernel, but I still used my LAN cable. I dont need it anymore, that
patch
I ended up just using the following...
