Try http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf/ Ive moved away from fedora these days, but know ive had it running on fedora extremely simply. Ive moved to ubuntu just purely because of the great package sourcing. To get it installed on that box I just had to: apt-get install iperf I still find it so amazing ;-) Theres windows binaries too.. So you could try your laptop in windows to another machine also if it dual boots.. Might prove its not the wireless system and could be the driver support? -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Jones [mailto:oliver(a)deeperdesign.com] Sent: Saturday, 27 August 2005 10:24 p.m. To: Waikato Linux Users Group Subject: RE: [wlug] Wireless performance Thanks Kyle. This is the sort of info I need. Where can I get iperf? RPM for FC4 prefered. On Sat, 2005-08-27 at 22:14 +1200, Kyle Carter wrote:
I just ran a quick iperf from my laptop to my nas storage server, theres a monowall box routing between the wireless subnet and wired subnet the server is on.. But this shouldn't affect the results as id expect the wireless network to be the slowest segment.
You should put your B devices on different channels to your G devices if you can. Might require two AP's though.
This is a HP laptop very similar to yours (nx5000) in G mode to a linksyss WRT54gs, but I do have another 2 x wireless B devices on the network (and one is using remote desktop at the moment of this test being run)
kyle(a)server:~$ iperf -c 10.3.68.2 ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 10.3.68.2, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 10.3.64.11 port 34591 connected with 10.3.68.2 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 19.3 MBytes 16.1 Mbits/sec kyle(a)server:~$
So you should definitely get some faster results than what you are seeing, I have noticed SCP's are always slow for me, so id recommend trying iperf and seeing what your results are.
