I'm unable to get a realiable link with 11a+turbo on a DWL-AG650. I can get it to associate and even get a lease, but if I try anything more, like pinging, it drops down to 6mbps eventually loses link. The driver says it only supports turbo mode up to 54MBPS from the dmesg. I am about to cvsup and try again. -- David W. Chapman Jr. dwcjr@inethouston.net Raintree Network Services, Inc.
