    Does any else have this card in their laptop? It will connect at 54mb but will ever only d/l at 90kb/s max when the ethernet will d/l at 220kb/s. I've tired several connection points and it seems to be a problem with the actual card and there's a good few topics about it on the net. I've updated to the latest drivers with no joy. Has anyone else fixed this problem?
    Thanks.

    No There's a mac running on the same wireless network with can download at the full 220mb/s so it's definitly an issue with the card or software. This card has been on the market since January and I can't believe Sony/Intel are still shipping it when it has always has connection issues.

    whats the laptop power setting on , I found that even when on mains power the power saving in control panel might switch back to max battery

    I would imagine the transfer speed of the wireless is reduced on this max battery setting ?

    I get 120k down speeds on a 1mb Bt broadband link shared on a belkin access point with the 2200bg card

    Had a problem with one of these today, it would only xfer at about quarter speed and the range was crap, then I downloaded the latest Intel driver here, and it worked fine. It even improved range on the adapter. It was in a Fujitsu Laptop.
