Subject: Re: Bug? Kernels 2.6.2x drops TCP packets over wireless (independent of card used)

hmm, i think, the site is broken (193.219.28.140), and not the card or
the driver is wrong. when it does, then other sites are auch
reproductable ..

/* is use auch madwifi-0.9.3.3, but it think, it is not driver problem */
