So, Lennert if you want more testing - What? How? etc.For one, the output of 'iw phy', please. Also, does monitor mode work? Do you get plausible channel/rxpower values in tcpdump in monitor mode? Are there any messages in the syslog about failing commands?On 1st sight, logs look fine: [21:52:52] <lautriv> [ 6.050967] ieee80211 phy0: 88w8361p v4, 00173f3bdde3, STA firmware 2.1.4.25 But WLAN connection is not that fast and stable as lautriv reports (several abnormalities were observed).
iwconfig saying "Bit Rate=1 Mb/s" can be safely ignored. If there is a bitrate indication on transmitted packets in tcpdump, then that's bogus too, as rate control is done in hardware. (I.e. if you want to verify the rate at which a packet is transmitted, you'll have to sniff from another machine.)
