Speed is still=20 great. However, with both wireless-testing and linux-2.6 I seem to be=20 using the 'pid' algorithm: phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid' With 2.6.24 I seem to be using the 'simple' rate control algorithm. I=20 don't know how to switch rate control algorithms without rebuilding=20 though, so I can't test 'simple' with 2.6.25. --------------enig963F458F5FEACA17A4787F6F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEAREIAAYFAkfzTiAACgkQEda5KzHP/VC/yACeP/WJs4uGdMTkvqoL4DuTvswL K1cAniPUQ+NcdCLeYT8NpF8YoS08SLx8 =n5E8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig963F458F5FEACA17A4787F6F--
