Does 802.11b use a lot of resources?

Thanks for the idea, but no joy.  Converted over to ad-hoc mode and got 
the same results.  I did read through the thread you linked to, and I'm 
inclined to believe it's still a driver issue, although I have no way to 
prove that.  I'm not a programmer, so I wouldn't even know how to patch 
the code as was suggested.  I saw someone started to port a program 
called rssadap from NetBSD, but the link provided didn't work anymore.

Time to call for a waaahmbulance then, I guess I'm stuck with the low 
throughput, cause I can't fix it myself. :(

Thanks for trying though.
