If you're lucky, perhaps a bit more than half of the theoretical speed. > I'd tested different options and flags from man 4 ral, spent a lot of time on > it, tested all the > media from the ifconfig -m ral0 list with all the mediaopt opts.

What about the max speeds that you'd ever seen on > ral? I'd say it's a bit low. I've seem my maximum sustained throughput at ~22Mb/s, but it usually operates at ~19Mb/s--and I imagine this might be a bit higher if I didn't use WEP. I use ral for hostap purposes and the relevant portion of my current hardware is: ral0 at cardbus1 dev 0 function 0: irq 10, address 00:14:a5:33:31:c7 ral0: MAC/BBP RT2661B, RF RT2529 (MIMO XR) > Can I see smth. about 54 Mbps between 2 OpenBSD boxes?

I doubt you will ever see true 54Mb/s using 802.11g or 802.11a under any OS. > ; Can anybody tell me more about chan option: values, influences, etc? Or, > where I can read about it? I can't say much outside of making certain the channel you're using is not being used by someone else.
