I actually have two:-) The Acer, with OpenSUSE 10.0 gave 32. or so mbytes/sec, the Thinkpad with 10.2 and two or less on the same network.
The Thinkpad's not new, I got it at auction.
John,
The RPMs that I have loaded are as follows in case you need them for reference:
madwifi-0.9.3-33_r2088.el4.at madwifi-kmdl-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL-0.9.3-33_r2088.el4.at madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL-0.9.3-33_r2088.el4.at
The only glitch I've ever encountered is after you load the new RPMs, you then reboot for the system to see the new hardware. Sometimes the system tries to create the new wireless device as wifi0 which my laptop doesn't like, in face it'll sometimes hang while trying to bring up the network device.
If that happens, I boot into single user mode and set it to not start at boot time, then move on to the next step.
I have to then go into the network config and delete this device, then create a new ath0 device and it works great.
Again, this doesn't always happen.
I have an older ThinkPad R40, so just let me know if you need any hardware specs, config files, or such to compare/troubleshoot yours.
Mine's a TP R40 2722-gdm. From its specs, I think it's one of the better R40s.
It will be another day or so before the download of the beta finishes then there's finding the time....
To move the topic a little, do you have any problems with the DVD drive in the Ultrabay? Mine played up with every distro I tried, Xubuntu 6.10, FC6, RHEL5b2, and does with OpenSUSE 10.2. Missing interrupts, "the drive is confused..."
