I am currently developing a linux driver for the RayLink wireless LAN card.
I have a working driver which seems to be stable, but the throughput is not
what I should be getting. There are windows 95 drivers for the card and if I ftp to the linux machine from the windows machine and get files, I get the expected 140k bytes/sec. A put results in only 30k/sec. The throughput between two linux machines is 30k doing put or get.
All development work so far has been done on a Redhat 5.0 system using
kernel 2.0.33.
I suspect that the TCP stack is throttling the window size down, and can
check, but even if it turns out that it is, I need to find out why.
What I am looking for is a hint as to what might be slowing down reception
at the linux end, or at least a way to figure it out.
Thanks for any help
