The driver has no tx rate control support and defaults to 1Mb/s so you must explicitly set the tx rate to get any reasonable performance. However even when locked to 54M on an 11g channel I never saw tcp netperf performance much more than ~15Mb/s with a strong signal. I never saw data corruption but mostly was testing wpa. In general I wasn't impressed with the device and the driver definitely needs work. Hard to recommend it. Sam
