Re: Intel/Pro Wireless 3945ABG working! now slow :(

Now that I have wireless working, I can copy and paste into messages, yeah!

hostname="jj.nordwick.com"
ifconfig_bfe0="DHCP"
ifconfig_wpi0="ssid mamalinz DHCP"
keymap="us.emacs"
linux_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-3"
sshd_enable="YES"


And  I have no /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

The card works great with windows, and no other machine in the house
(including Wii/PS3/PSP/Mac/Windows) have any problems connection or being
speedy).

For hardware, the machine is a Dell Inspiron E1705 dual core. So could there
be SMP issues maybe?

When connected by a wire, the download speed is much faster so it seems to
be a wireless only problem.
