Comment 49 for bug 124159

Hi,

Glad to hear that it's working for you. The problem is probably within
the kernel not the driver itself (earlier kernels had no such problem).
Dropping the transmission rate seems to be a workaround for this but
isn't the solution per se. Hopefully someone will debug the problem
correctly and come up with a solution.

As for setting the rate permanently, I had thought that "iwconfig eth1
commit" would set the value across sessions but I just get an error when
I try this. I think you can just set the wireless rate in the
/etc/networks/interfaces but I haven't tried it yet as most of the time
I'm on a wired connection.
