Because of the problems I'am going now to a special site, where I have a local networks (LAN/WLAN), good internet connection and root access to Linux machines. This should be a good thing to do real testing. 1.) Andrea, can you resend me the latest patches (perhaps against 3.16) please? (only to confirm that we are in "synchronous" mode.) 2.) Andrea, Larry, John are you interested to have root access to my laptop using the rtl8187se? (Perhaps it can stay there over the weekend too.) 3.) My test for maximal troughput is to run a connection /dev/zero -> nc ->|-> nc -> /dev/null. Any other ideas? 4.) I think to have this setup ready about 11:30 UTC. I'am open to any suggestion from your side. Bernhard Am Freitag, 12.
