Confirmed on a Dell XPS M1710: iperf -c target -i5 -t30 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to target TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.1.8 port 56104 connected with 192.168.1.6 port 5001 [ 3] 0.0- 5.0 sec 784 KBytes 1.28 Mbits/sec [ 3] 5.0-10.0 sec 1.14 MBytes 1.91 Mbits/sec [ 3] 10.0-15.0 sec 1.30 MBytes 2.19 Mbits/sec [ 3] 15.0-20.0 sec 1.34 MBytes 2.25 Mbits/sec [ 3] 0.0-24.7 sec 5.47 MBytes 1.86 Mbits/sec
and now with the workaround (sudo iwpriv eth1 set_mode 4): iperf -c target -i5 -t30 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to target TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.1.8 port 46670 connected with 192.168.1.7 port 5001 [ 3] 0.0- 5.0 sec 8.10 MBytes 13.6 Mbits/sec [ 3] 5.0-10.0 sec 6.69 MBytes 11.2 Mbits/sec [ 3] 10.0-15.0 sec 2.16 MBytes 3.62 Mbits/sec [ 3] 15.0-20.0 sec 2.38 MBytes 4.00 Mbits/sec [ 3] 20.0-25.0 sec 2.72 MBytes 4.56 Mbits/sec [ 3] 25.0-30.0 sec 2.42 MBytes 4.06 Mbits/sec [ 3] 0.0-30.1 sec 24.5 MBytes 6.81 Mbits/sec Seems better. But what exactly does set_mode 4 do? Open the gates? ;-) And does anybody know, how to confirm, if the firmware (which is located at /lib/firmware/2.6.20-16-386/iwlwifi-3945.ucode and ipw3945.ucode) is used by the kernel at all? There seems to be not hotplug mechanism for firmware active, but I might be wrong... So far thanks for the workaround! -- ipw3945 Wifi connection is very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
