Hi there everyone,
First off, here is the practical problem I have : (every connection is through wi-fi, downloads with wget of a file on ftp.gnu.org.)
My iPod downloads from the Internets at 300 kb/s. My laptop downloads from the Internets at 60 kb/s. SCPing a file located on the iPod from the laptop rolls at 250 kb/s. (Additionally, transfer from wired Internets is as full 5Mbps.)
I hope you now have a feel of why I'm frustrated: my slow wifi is specific to the Internets; I can get good speed on my local wifi network.

Any help, really, any, would be greatly appreciated. :-) I've wasted many hours on that!
Don't hesitate to ask any information you might need!
Happy hacking.

Welcome to the forums.
SCPing a file located on the iPod from the laptop rolls at 250 kb/s.
This is transferring over your local network? If so, that's still horribly slow.
Just a small guess/hunch; but try disabling power management for your wlan0 interface and see if it makes a difference.
Burninate!

Thanks for your answer Gcool! I do agree tha 250kb/s over local network is slow, but that would still be a blessing if I could get that kind of rates from the Internets.
As for power management, AFAICT (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=GbPmedUz) it is already disabled.

Seriously, though, I'd pay 10 million theoretical dollars for a solution.
