I posted in the networking forum. Din't get enough eyeballs. so I'm reposting here. sorry!

Realtek 8185 WL card & IBEX : poor signal strength I have airlink 101 wireless PCI card with realtek 8185 chip set.

I have this running quite well with ndiswrapper in Hardy

I recently installed IBEX, the native driver reconizes the chip but performance is poor, even though the router is right next to the computer .

Hardy shows 95% signal strength and ~2 Mbps Ibex shows 20% sigal strength and 500 Kbps

Also, In ibex the signal strength seems to fluctuate

Whats is happening. how do I fix this?
