SubjectRe: [ath5k-devel] Unusually low speeds with ath5k and iwl3945
Hi,
to verify that it is a rate control issue, there is one very simple and
very practical test.

Take both ends of your link, and set them to fixed rate, and at the rate
you think it should be achieving.
If you can achieve significantly higher throughputs with fixed rate, you
know that the rate control algorithm (or interface with rate algorithm)
has failed.
