Description of problem: The network applet never shows a speed greater than 65Mb/sec. I have an i7 based laptop with the intel 5100 agn wireless chip. The laptop is about 6 inches away from the Apple Wireless Extreme base station. File transfers peak at about 3MB/s I am fairly sure that several months ago I was getting a much higher throughput. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use wireless networking 2. 3. Actual results: Network applet shows 65Mb/sec (or less) Expected results: I would hope to get at least 130Mb/sec Additional info: From lspci: 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection The base station has been set up with a 5ghz and 2.4ghz access points. I have a ralink 2870 wireless usb stick that I use on an old laptop that connects at 130Mb/sec (and it is upstairs on the other side of the house). My Macbook Pro runs between 270 and 300 Mb/sec.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
