I always wonder about the broadband in my Intel WiFi Link 5100. I have a wireless network at home and the poor performance is confusing.
In windows 7 the adapter says it is at 350mbps with win drivers. In Ubuntu, connection information just say 150mbps. Same adapter, same N-Network. I'm using Intel's open source driver. I checked, and the intel module is active.
Why is this happening?
