As soon as I turn WEP off, everything is back to normal. Okay - clear case of PEBKAC - frames sent with wrong encryption are not ACK'd, so the transmit timeouts seem logical (although I am not sure if it might be better if the driver handled this internally). I had set WEP to "optional" in the AP - which works fine with an old 11b orinoco card, but not with the atheros card (both with madwifi and windoes driver, as I am told - I never tried thewindows driver). After setting WEP to "fixed on", everything works like a charm - I get 2.5MB/s using scp on a 11a link. cu Michael |
