Hmm, interesting. I do believe this is unrelated to my problem, though, which I managed to fix by upgrading the kernel to 2.6.35-27 using an Ethernet cable. I will post if I encounter any more trouble, but performance is definitely up as it has been up for 2-3 hours (during which I've transferred a few gigabytes to check) without any particular issues. While searching for information on my Realtek chipset based WG111v2 I came across some posts about Prism54-based USB wifi devices being misidentified as Atheros-based. It might be worth confirming whether your `lsusb` output matches anything on this page under '0846': <http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids>. -- Roshan George _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
