[Bug 340418] Re: iwl3945 slow down after some time to 100kbps, unload/load module return speed to 1.5mbps

[bert07]

All this 'slowlyness' of certain netcards started with kernel 2.6.25 or 2.6.26.
I have the same problem since with my rt2500 (Belkin PCMCIA).
In the beginning of this problem, I could work around it for Puppy, Ubuntu and Mandriva. But when it came to kernel 2.6.28 that work-around didn't work any more.

As you can see (read) the problem is been around for a long time now.
And I can see that this bug is in progress. But that doesn't help those
who are 'infected' by this bug.

For what it's worth, I'll note the work-around again here. Maybe it
might ring a bell for the people working on this bug.

---+---
Add to /etc/rc.local

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M fixed

exit 0
---+---

In Puppy, I had to use this as a batch-file, because the file
/etc/rc.local did not exist.

And as I said: since kernel 2.6.28 this doesn't work any more.
