Description Stanislaw Gruszka 2011-02-21 04:19:02 EST

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #654599 +++

Description of problem:
the speed of connection with a near (1 meter) access point is about maximum 130-150 kb/s. On windows the speed is about 600-650 kb/s. I never had this problem with Fedora 11, 12 and 13.

Patch(es) available on kernel-2.6.32-130.el6

Comment 12 Vladimir Benes 2011-05-02 05:29:47 EDT

we cannot reproduce as this is just copy of Fedora bug and the reporter is not a customer so he has no access to our kernel..
We have tested iwl3945 device with approx connection speed higher than 10 Mbit/s
