Folks,

I have a fresh intallation of Fedora 16 x64 on my Toshiba A305-S6864 Laptop.
I have a problem with my wifi conectivity, it is really, really slow,
comparing with the speed using Fedora 10 or Windows 7 on the same machine.
I tryed to install compat-wireless-next driver, but my kernel version is
not supported yet.
According some posts I've found, hardware encryption must be disabled, and
it is disable.
Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance,
