Hi,

I am using v2.6.28-rc8-8109-g6ec77a1 (about 3 days old, 2008-12-17/12-18 thereabouts) and transferring some files across and the throughput is back to about 50KB/s again - should be about 10x - and iwconfig stays at 1Mbit; doing iwconfig rate other numbers doesn't change anything.

I am tracking wireless testing quite regularly so if it breaks, the breakage hasn't been more than a week, I think; one thing I am not sure about is that I am running "mke2fs -c -c " on a USB disk on the same hub (it is a laptop so it is a "logical" hub) at the moment. So I am wondering if anything breaks in the last few days, or other USB activities can seriously affect the driver. 

I'll try again and write again when the mke2fs -c -c finishes (about 30 hours for 250GB). Meanwhile, either of you want to say anything?
