Comment 10 for bug 187306

My ipw2200 was working "fine" - with the occasional packet reset, but with some recent upgrade performance has dropped to non-functional.

It has only since I switched back to a wired network have I realised how slow the ipw2200 had become.

I'm sitting here with two laptops in front of me -

Dell Inspiron 8600 - ipw2200 - won't work any more ( ~60% packet loss )
Dell Lattitude 430 - iwl3945 - works a treat

Both trying to go to the same access point.
