Ok, i've tried all and i've discovered something that i didn't realize before. On my Linux box, iwconfig says that the bit rate is of 2mbps and it never goes up, i've tried to change it with iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M but nothing appears... don't know why, now i have my laptop near the Linux box with a link of 92/92... i don't know what is happening.
Can you someone help me??
Thanks.
Samuel
