I have a hostap box that lives under my stairs with:

wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xffbef000-0xffbeffff irq 11 at device 11.0 =
on
pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:05:5d:ee:23:57
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.7), Station (1.3.5)
wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ifpi0: <AVM Fritz!Card PCI> port 0xff80-0xff9f mem 0xffbeec00-0xffbeec1f =
irq
10 at device 17.0 on pci0

And I've also tried:

wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0xffbef000-0xffbeffff irq 11 at device 11.0 =
on
pci0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:11:fa:2d
wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.7), Station (1.3.6)
wi0: supported rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps

Initialising with the line:

ifconfig_wi0=3D"inet 192.168.10.254  netmask 255.255.255.0 media =
DS/11Mbps
mediaopt hostap ssid gate channel 6"

The problem I have is that the most I can get out of it is 502k/sec
on a laptop, and 192k on a P4 2.4Ghz next to it. Messages is full of:

Feb 12 22:38:03 gate kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded
Feb 12 22:38:04 gate last message repeated 7 times

It's fairly recent:

FreeBSD gate.bka.epcdirect.co.uk 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #1: Sat =
Feb
8 11:31:01 GMT 2003

Any ideas anyone? Or am I expecting too much at 192k/second from hostap?
The server is less than 6 feet away from the PC's.
