That scp test shows 50%ish - but that was a quickie. The VNC
 client even reported a 719Kbps throughput down from the more
 usual 11500Kbps it starts off with. The first scp I tried when the
 sluggishness was intolerable was going at 200KB/s - which
 shows the problem can easily get in the neighborhood of an
 order of magnitude.

What kind of wireless encryption do you use? We turned off hardware
encryption by default recently as a workaround for a firmware restart
bug. You might want to load module with "modprobe ipw2200 hwcrypto=1"
and retest.

I actually use no encryption yet, as I still have to find out time
 to call D-Link about the fact that my router hangs when I try
 to set up a whitelist of MAC addresses for the wireless AP;
 WPA would be up next...

Would loading the module with h/w encryption turned on
 make any difference in my case ?

Thanks,

PS don't tell my neighbors ;)
