The firmware always reports 2Mbps in hostap mode, so the driver always
reports 2mbps. this is a cosmetic issue. it would be better if the
driver looked at the last N packets to report the speed or something,
but each client can be at a different speed....

Hi there. We really test this a lot!! We have 1 Freebsd 5.0 Access Point working for more than 4 month with a card prism2 and with 35 clients connecting it and making a nasty traffic, ( never crash) but is using low power wireless card for that razon we start to work with a prism 2.5 200mw and work perfect on freebsd 5.0 but is VERY slow on 5.1 never is faster than 130kbys/s when with the freebsd 5.0 we have 580kb/s, I tried a lots of things and setups but doesn't work more than 2Mbps and looks like is driver problem( I think) because the same wireless card work sweet in Freebsd 5.0 We are doing this test in the office with a Freebsd access point an a couple a wireless card like a clients what do you think? thanks Marcos M.
