It's been mentioned before on older bug reports regarding this wireless chipset, but I just realised that it hasn't been mentioned on this bug report.
You can get speed, range and reliability from your wireless card if you install the Aircrack driver. Details here: http://zenzike.blogspot.com/2008/11/wireless-woes.html The biggest drawback of the Aircrack driver is that it doesn't support WPA encryption, only WEP - so ironically it's vulnerable to people running the Aircrack program! Also, after some kernel updates you will need to recompile and reinstall the driver via "sudo make clean", "sudo make" and "sudo make install". If you encounter difficulties installing the Aircrack driver, please don't clutter up this bug report with them.
