Hi guys,

More experimentation with my rtl8187. With some playing around with the
access point location, I think I may have stumbled on a good position.

Anyway ...

I noticed that the rate reported by iwconfig only ever gets to 11Mb/s
despite the fact that I now have a signal level of 90/100 - 100/100. I
found that I can do

iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M

but it seems that although the card is still associated networking does=
nt
work (pings fail). If I change it back to auto

iwconfig wlan0 rate auto

then iwconfig reports 11Mb/s again and pinging resumes fine.

Is there any chance that the driver is incorrectly reporting its mode o=
r
something in that the rates it displays bear the hallmarks of a b card
rather than g?

Using the compat-wireless snapshot from 9/2/2009
Mandriva 2.6.27.10-desktop586-1mnb

Any ideas appreciated.

Regards

PGR
