[zd1211-devs] running just with 11mbit? how comes?

[Harald D. <har...@t-...>]

Hi folks,

If I scan for my gateway (WRT54G) then I get:

          Cell 02 - Address: 00:0C:41:9D:2A:33
                    ESSID:"harrinet"

                    Mode:Master

But the WLAN connection via zd1211rw is horrible slow, compared to the ol=
d
zd1211-83. iwconfig shows that the local port is running just with 11 mbi=
t:

% iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     802.11g zd1211  ESSID:"harrinet"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.432 GHz  Access Point: 00:0C:41:9D:2A=

          Bit Rate=3D11 Mb/s
          Link Quality=3D97/100  Signal level=3D93/100
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

How comes? Link quality doesn't look so bad. Shouldn't they agree upon
some higher bandwidth, e.g. 54 mbit?


Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0ace:1211 ZyDAS 802.11b/g USB2 WiFi


Any hint would be highly appreciated.
