Beta Updated Wifi Driver

[drD20]

Installed them.
good news is: with the new drivers i can always connect to my wlan network, with the old drivers it only connected every 20th try
bad news:
its sloooow. Downloads start at 20kb/sec and it slows down even further until its only <1kb/s.

For anyone still having problems with wifi there are 2 tweaks worth trying:
"sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off"

and
"sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 22M auto"

(run in terminal)
One of those might improve your wifi, the former is likely to at least improve the speed.

I just discovered something:
I need to copy a huge amount of files over wlan on my homenetwork. The files don't come from the pandora, just from one pc to another.
While the transfer runs, I cannot get into the internet on pandora. It connects to the wlan hotspot but then it just loads and shows an errormessage.
With a notebook, i can surf the web without any trouble while the transfer is active.

Could this behaviour be related to the wifi speedissues? Doesn't the Pandora get priority from the router, when it accuires data?

another lesson learned. sudo means super-user ^^

no, sudo means 'substitute user (do)' its not only for root or for getting root.
