Minimal throughput for fixed rate of 6M. Pinging only replies to every =
4th
packet or so. No ping replies at all for 9, 18, 24, 36, 48 or 54.

Not sure what the actual rate of packet delivery is (doesnt seem slower
than my other laptop) but can confirm with iperf later.

Could also dump an XP installation on here to confirm whether this is a=
n
hardware issue.
