This morning the machine crashed me fiddeling around to much i think.
If i've got Mr Kao:s mail yesterday i could have supplied the files as they 
were from my eeeASUS G4where i filed the bug from.
I'll reinstall but it will take a while.
But I can inform as far as i got.
The behavior with just 1Mbit rate exists on different brands of AP. Tested 
3Com, D-link and linksys.
Confirmed even on my other laptops Dell lattitude i.e with PCMCIA 3Com Network 
card now running WICD and wext-driver there.
But on the eeePC i needed Mobile ( 3G network ) WICD doesent support it but the 
networkmanagerer does perfectly so thats why i struggel with it and don't just 
uninstall it.
The next step workaround to get rid off scripts bringing down network change 
rate to 11Mbit and then bring it up again and select network. were.

Uncomment in file /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools:

#if [ -n "$IF_WIRELESS_RATE" ]; then
#  $IWCONFIG "$IFACE" rate $IF_WIRELESS_RATE
#fi

and add after:

iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M

I though have 11g networks ( 54Mbit ) but the ath5 driver doesent work
with higer rate than 11Mbit otherwise it displays 54 ( if you set the
rate to 54 ) but delivers less than 1Mbit.

Keep this bug open a while, until i reinstalled my eeePC so i can support the 
logs you asked for.
ill do my best to hurry but i have som more project planned ( didn't plan that 
my eeePC should crash )
Thank you for your patient
Regards:
eeePC
