 |
|
Hi there,
I have my Thinkpad Z61m with a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) connected over WPA2 to a Fritz!Box 7050 (Firmware 14.04.31) and a desktop. I'm using ipw3945
| Code: | net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4
net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2
net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.0 |
and in kernel modules of ieee80211 (2.6.20-gentoo-r4) and net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.5.7.
The driver works mostly well, though big data transfers to the laptop are extremly slow (nfs with udp, or scp with tcp). For second nothing is transfered, then a chunk , then nothing ......
Transfers from the laptop to the desktop are fine and use the whole bandwidth
iwconfig:
| Code: |
eth1 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"xxxxx"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:xx:0E:xx:xx:5C
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:15 dBm
Retry limit:15 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Security mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality=66/100 Signal level=-62 dBm Noise level=-63 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:2165 Missed beacon:0
|
shows a lot of invalid misc packages. The thing is that it worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Since I dind't copy files lately i can't figure out what change broke the configuration. 
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

the wired thing is that sambatransfers are stable at a third of the bandwidth.
Anyone a idea? |

seems to have been a bug in the firmware 14.04.31 of the fritz!box. With 14.04.33 everything's working fine.
The entry in the changelog was something like "improved stability of wlan" lol
cheers
