Comment 119 for bug 621265

Eric: comparisons between ethernet and wireless on the same router might display intrinsic slowness of wifi in comparison with ethernet when using the different combinations of hardware involved.

Far more interesting is how different kernel versions and drivers affects wireless speed. It seems odd that the native driver is so much slower than the ndiswrapper clearly there are some speed problems with that driver that have only got worse in recent versions...

Good luck in finding exactly where the bug was added. Hopefully this bug will get fixed before Natty or I may be stuck on Lucid for a long time.
