Hi Everyone,
I have installed a Netgear 802.11b (MA311) PCI card into my freebsd box
but I can't get it to transfer data faster than 180KBps in either
direction. I have tried the card in 2 freebsd boxes one running 5.1
Release and the other 5.4 Stable, no difference. I also ran trafshow on
wi0 and the traffic looks to come in bursts.
I have included my config below, can anyone see a problem?
Thank you.
-Chris
