Wireless throughput issues
I have a Thinkpad Z60T with a Atheros AR5212 abg NIC. I'm running f10 and the card is there and it grabs my WPA2 network solid everytime, but I get unusable throughput... the firefox browser takes forever to resolve even the google search page and then it is hit or miss whether it will actually finish loading. With a wired connection it is lightning fast... I've been dorking with this and reading the seemingly never ending posts concerning issues with the Atheros cards... not sure where to look next or what setting(s) might be slowing down the connection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Rural or urban? It may be a question of moving your channel to a less congested channel. Most APs default to channel 11 which is both social and anti social at the same time.

I agree with David on channel settings. I live in an urban environment changing the channel on your router to one less con jested will help. Windows machines are relentlessly network noisy on lans and you will without doubt be surrounded by Microsoft users. Try using Wireless Assistant to locate free or reduced traffic channels.

Gentlemen, great suggestion and I did change the settings on my router which was set on auto. I'm using channel 7, but there really isn't any improvement. This is a suburban neighborhood and although there are a couple of other wireless networks detectable, I think that the issue may something to do with the wireless configuration. I will have to admit to not being a linux purest and this laptop used to be an XP machine... the wireless was very fast. Now... just because the computer "sees" the wireless card and identifies it, does that mean that the configuration is correct? or could there be settings related to the card that need to be adjusted? Thanks

The ath5k driver isn't that good and sometimes defaults to 1Mbs 
Post
I use the madwifi driver as it is better
Code:
[root@localhost leigh]# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wifi0 no wireless extensions.
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"linux123" Nickname:""

To get a higher rate try
Code:
su -
iwconfig ath0 rate 54M

Thanks Leigh, looks like I'm getting about 2Mbs...
as you can see I don't get the "ath0" as my prefix, I have the wlan0 and when I tried the command to boost the rate I put in wlan0 in place of ath0 and it didn't recognize the command. So I may have a problem... but yeah... 9Mbs is not gonna work...
I have actually downloaded the madwifi driver, so I will try to install that and see what happens.
Do you have a suggestion for the easiest to understand guide to doing that?

Try
Code:
su -
gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
and add
Code:
# wifi drivers
blacklist ath5k
blacklist ath9k
Then install the driver ( it will work with any kernel including 2.6.29 )
Code:
su -
yum install wget
wget http://leigh123.homelinux.com/madwifi/dkms-madwifi-trunk-r3940-20090129.01.i386.rpm
yum --nogpgcheck install dkms-madwifi-trunk-r3940-20090129.01.i386.rpm
reboot

I will reboot now and see what happens... but I suspect that I'm not out of the woods yet... but maybe these don't mean anything... we'll see in a reboot! Tks again and let me know what you think of the above if you have a chance.

Ah... as I feared... upon reboot the wireless does not seem to be recognized...
[troconn@dragonhat ~]$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
irda0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
what do you think?

Give me 30 minutes and I will make a i386 rpm for you .

Try this i386 rpm instead
Code:
su -
yum install wget
wget http://leigh123.homelinux.com/madwifi/dkms-madwifi-trunk-r3940-20090129.01.i386.rpm
yum --nogpgcheck install dkms-madwifi-trunk-r3940-20090129.01.i386.rpm
reboot

I think you should install the i386 package instead
Code:
su -
yum install wget
wget http://leigh123.homelinux.com/madwifi/dkms-madwifi-trunk-r3940-20090129.01.i386.rpm
yum --nogpgcheck install dkms-madwifi-trunk-r3940-20090129.01.i386.rpm
reboot

Sorry, I had too many madwifi packages in the directory and I wasn't seeing the difference and just grabbing the first one at the top... anyway.... the i386 rpm installed without a hitch... I rebooted a couple of times but am still only getting 12Mbs throughput...
