Affects: In FreeBSD-5.x / Current Card Used: Prism 2.5, tried all firmware (from 1.3.9 to 1.7.2) While the interface (wi driver) is set to hostap, associated clients can upload at 11mbit/sec but download a maximum at half of that (I'm seeing a maximum being around 180KB/sec). Running FreeBSD 4.9 with the same card works fine (500-600KB/sec both up and down) while in hostap. Adhoc in 5.x and 4.x work fine at full speeds. As far as I can tell the problem deals with the wi(4) driver. I've confirmed this with the usage of over a dozen prism 2.5 PCMCIA cards of various versions of firmware (primary & station). Heres the current versions I've tried: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.7.4) There has not been a lot of talk on this, but there are some (short) discussions out there that end up being a dead-end. Anyone have any comments/suggestions/heard anything more than I have?
