They do not use the same driver. The network card of the Mac OS X laptop is em1 and my network card is ath0. I do not believe they interact the same way with the rest of the system.

Anyway, I've replaced WPA2 by WEP (security is not much a concern here) and I've fixed a big part of the problem. I can now download things at 600ko/s and I have a lot less packet loss. However, sometimes everything hangs. All I could find is the following kernel log, highlighted by periodic:
Code:
+ath0: device timeout
+ath0: device timeout
+ath0: device timeout
+ath0: link state changed to DOWN
+ath0: link state changed to UP
+ath0: link state changed to DOWN
+ath0: link state changed to UP
+ath0: link state changed to DOWN
+ath0: link state changed to UP
+ath0: link state changed to DOWN
+ath0: link state changed to UP
What could be the cause of this?


Thanks!
