Hello, Apologies for being so slow about applying and testing this patch. Now that I had some time, I tried to be quite methodical about it. I hadn't used iperf before, so I'm happy to have heard about this nice tool.
Here are my results, 4311, HD dv2020 laptop: WITHOUT the patch in this thread: 1M: 726 Kbits/sec 2M: 337 Kbits/sec 5.5M: 162 Kbits/sec 6M: 151 Kbits/sec 9M: 168 Kbits/sec 11M: 173 Kbits/sec 12M: 185 Kbits/sec 18M: 174 Kbits/sec 24M: 152 Kbits/sec 36M: 209 Kbits/sec 48M: 224 Kbits/sec 54M: 8.03 Kbits/sec WITH the patch in this thread: 1M: 752 Kbits/sec 2M: 1.34 Mbits/sec 5.5M: 2.95 Mbits/sec 6M: 3.14 Mbits/sec 9M: 4.90 Mbits/sec 11M: 4.71 Mbits/sec 12M: 6.80 Mbits/sec 18M: 8.85 Mbits/sec 24M: 10.2 Mbits/sec 36M: 12.3 Mbits/sec 48M: 5.11 Mbits/sec 54M: 72.1 Kbits/sec So it seems my "sweet spot" is at 36M. My "real world" results are that I was able to transfer a 350 MB video file from my desktop to my laptop over wireless in 3.5 minutes. ;-) This is just about equivalent to the rates I get under Windows. Good times... I have one more test to try... I am strangely never able to associate with the wifi router in my girlfriend's apartment, however it is a crappy old D-Link B-series router. I'll try it next time I get a chance. (I've long suspected the reason is that she lives in an apartment building, and there are something like 20 other APs in the vicinity, so potentially a lot of wifi traffic interfering. However, I am always able to connect using Windows.)
