I suspect by the time it gets in this state the device is just hung generally. So, I can't sustain a connection long enough to do iperf. I got numbers from madwifi though :) Seems when it gets a big hunk of data the device barfs. When I'm doing something like ssh or just browsing a little, it's annoying but still useable because most of the time it'll disassociate with the AP for a few seconds, reassociate, and it's working again. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com
