If you do that then the "percentage error" doubles and you also can't 
really draw any reliable conclusions. You want to be using one zd1211rw 
connecting to an AP which is wired to another system.

Then perhaps you should try harder to get more speed, so that you can 
see the difference, which has been verified by a few people very 
recently. It will be much much easier to work towards the performance of 
Linux vendor driver if you can drive yourself to do so.

It doesn't mean 89330 failed frames, it means 89330 total failed 
transmissions of <some smaller number> of frames.

You get a retry_failed interrupt upon every retransmission. The final 
one has a flag to say "if this one doesn't get acked, then I'm giving up".

No.
