    I had similar thoughts The ethernet nic and wlan nic must have different ip addresses. Atm they have the same address. I have to look into using ifconfig to configure different addresses. Once that is solved the wlan can be in AP mode. If you have an existing wlan router the asus can also be a wlan client.

    I don't have much time atm, so either wait or inspire someone else to do this job.

    Give it a shot: Configure the asus as an Access Point (AP) and try.

    WL-HDD transferrate is horrible. Check the following topic:

    I guess there needs to be done some research into this problem. There are some things to consider:
    - Theoratical HD transfer 3+ MB/s (4200 rpm 2.5")
    - Theoratical ethernet 8+ MB/s (100Mb/s)

    It seems to me there are 2 major bottlenecks to tackle. The slow transferrate can be explained if the HDD is in PIO mode and/or the CPU load is maxed out when transferring files.

    I think the first thing to do about the slow transferrate is to modify the kernel so it supports DMA transfers to the HDD. When the HDD is in DMA mode the CPU load will be lower as well, so theres a win-win situation...

    Maximum ethernet speed for this box is something about 3.5 MB sec.

    Okay, but thats still 3 times more than whats being reached now. I think a DMA mode driver for the Promise IDE chip should accomplish this.

    Where did you find this? Can it be improved by modifying the driver?

    Launch epi_ttcp and measure it.
    CPU as seems is too slow to give you more...
