WLAN performance Windows/XP ./. FreeBSD 8-CURRENT

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I am wondering what could cause the following WLAN performance diff
between a XP and 8-CURRENT laptop, sitting side by side and connected to
the same AP:

OS           XP               8-CURRENT
NIC          Intel 3945ABG    Atheros 5424/2424
Ping         6ms              116ms
downstream   9.05Mbit/s       6.58Mbit/s
upstream     6.58Mbit/s       4.55Mbit/s

measured with http://www.speedtest.net/ against the same remote server
at the same time... Any ideas?

Thx

	matthias

People who hate Microsoft Windows use Linux but people who love UNIX use FreeBSD.
