Thanks for your help. I tried using the --limit-rate switch on wget and it
still wasnt using the while speed. Then I found my old USB Stick (Netgear
WG111), put some effort in getting the right firmware and all and now I'm
happily downloading the Fedora 10 32 Bit Live CD and I'm at the same time
syncing my GMail account to my desktop using the new Offline Mode. All in
all I'm currently using about 1 MBit/s which is not bad.
I have been following this thread with some interest.
I have several laptops connecting to the same AP and all set up with F10
with the same apparent configs.... the difference is that one has 3945,
another 4965 a 3rd ipw2200 and the last one with an atheros based chip and
they all see different speeds - the interesting thing is that the one with
2945 is also slow like yours - so I believe that this may boil down to the
current drivers in the Fedora kernel? The ipw2200 one is actually the
slowest - and 4965 whizzes along very nicely and a lot faster - and all are
basically the same setup!
Would be nice if others may be able to confirm this?
