--ikeVEW9yuYc//A+q Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I've got an SMC2632W wireless ethernet PCMCIA card in a Dell Inspiron 3800. I seem to be having a problem with it transmitting small packets. I've attached a series of 3 pings, one at 56 bytes per packet, one at 66, and another at 128. At 56 bytes, I get no response, at 66, it works a little, and at 128, every packet makes it through. It's currently running with WEP 64-bit encryption in BSS mode to an SMC access point. I've also attached the output on wicontrol on the card (as non-root, so the keys won't be there) and an ifconfig of the card. Any ideas as to why this is happening? I'm guessing a buffering issue someplace, but I have no clue where, and unfortunatly, I have no other device to test the access point with. (Note: Everything works under Windows (Don't you hate that?))
