I have throughput issue when doing transfers in both directions at same time. I get 17-19 Mbps when transfering in one direction only. However if I start download and upload at sametime, zd1211rw AP can only do tx at about 3.5 Mbps when other end is not zd1211rw too. With zd1211rw at both ends tx average 8-10 Mbps. Same problem exists when using zd1211rw device on b43 AP. -Jussi > > Walter >
