Converted over to ad-hoc mode and got the same results. I did read through the thread you linked to, and I'm inclined to believe it's still a driver issue, although I have no way to prove that. I'm not a programmer, so I wouldn't even know how to patch the code as was suggested. I saw someone started to port a program called rssadap from NetBSD, but the link provided didn't work anymore. Time to call for a waaahmbulance then, I guess I'm stuck with the low throughput, cause I can't fix it myself. :( Thanks for trying though. Christopher
