I'm unable to get a realiable link with 11a+turbo on a DWL-AG650.  I can get it to 
associate and even get a lease, but if I try anything more, like 
pinging, it drops down to 6mbps eventually loses link.  The driver 
says it only supports turbo mode up to 54MBPS from the dmesg.  I am 
about to cvsup and try again.
