Problem exists here too on a HP dv9088EA running Maverick beta.

From lspci here's the hardware..

    02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

My router is already set to G only and I've tried fiddling with the MTU, rate and power settings.

Here's the speeds as measured by the broadbandspeedtester.

    eth0

    Download speed 4543 Kbps
    Upload speed 719 Kbps

    wlan0

    Download speed 507 Kbps
    Upload speed 192 Kbps

Now the really odd thing in the mix is that my work laptop is an IBM T60 running Lucid (I will attempt to try Lucid on the HP if time permits) and that works perfectly at full speed.

Here's the lspci from that machine:

    03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

I failed to get ndiswrapper working.

This is all very disappointing as I really want to use maverick on this machine (boots in 15 seconds on a seagate momentus xt).
