hmm, whats the output from iwconfig? any errors, lost frames?
any weird kernel problem's showing in dmesg?
any hardware conflicts at the interrupt level (cat /proc/interrupts)
have you try using a different channel, you may be getting interference
from near by taxi firms ;-)...
Might be a vendor interoperablity problem, make sure there both working
in true 802.11b mode.
if the 11/mb cards, you should at *best* see around 5/mbs a second..at
best... more likey 2/mbs a second, (that's around 200k per second).
have you tried any but ftp, perhaps a large http transfer?
the stats from iwconfig and ifconfig might tell us more.
Cheers,
Lee
