Re: [Madwifi-users] Problem with invalid RX nwid packets

Hi Stefano

Offcourse distance is important , but if there was very crowded in the 
channel which you are using, the rate will decrease.
Did you check Quality of the wireless interface during the transfer when was 
it slow.

You can monitor wireless quality , using the system file.

[aa@qqq] # watch -n 1 cat  /proc/net/wireless

Also did you check the rate of the transfer when it was slow.
During the transfer big data, please check the rate using PING command, You 
can monitor RTT of ping command.

After that, you can identify the your wireless configuration is OK or not.

Regards,
Bayar
