Tried many combinations of kernel (2.6.21 to current 2.6.24.3),
several combinations of mac80211, iwlwifi and iww4965 microcode,
including latest stable (1.2.0) and dev versions. Still can't get
past about 30KB download speeds. Access point is Linksys Wireless-B -
other machines on same network can get 10-15 times that speed w/ a
variety of adapters.
I've enabled logging in kernel config, but logs don't reveal anything unusual:
$ dmesg | grep iwl4965

(Gutsy Gibbons stock kernel)
After a couple days of searching (Google, bughost, etc) I've noticed
others with similar problems, but never came across a resolution. Bug
1481 is similar, though not exact. Performance is acceptable under
WinXP (400KB+)
Is this a configuration issue or a genuine bug? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
I'll be happy to enter a bug report, and assist in any way I can
(testing, etc) to help reach a resolution.

Can you compare the bandwidth you get with and without encryption? The
amount of data transmitted when using encryption is significantly more
than without ... comparing these two numbers may show something.

Bug 1623 has been submitted.
In the mean time, is there anything I can do help isolate?
Thanks,

Please add information about your environment and test results to bug
1481 if you think it is appropriate - otherwise, please do submit a new
bug to enable us to track it.
