Jean Tourrilhes On Linux Wireless LAN

Posted by simoniker on from the spelling-101 dept.

mcleodnine writes "Jean Tourrilhes of the Linux Wireless LAN Howto project took some time to answer a few questions from members at LinuxQuestions.org. Among some of the more interesting commments was his pick of best and worst Open Source friendly vendors ('Some of those TI engineers even sent me e-mails criticising some features of the Wireless Extensions'), an opinion or two about the Next Big Thing in wireless (MIMO), and a poke in the eye for OS zealots of any religion."

    File copy time is mostly dependent on disk speed and the size of the I/O transfers performed. CPU speed is a small factor. Less than 1 MB/min is pretty horrible. I would guess you don't have enough RAM in the mac, so your copy is being done in very small chunks and your OS is paging. How much RAM is in the Pentium?
