I did a little testing of my quick n' dirty wireless patch for the ath9k
on what I have.
The two devices are:
a netgear wndr 5700 running openwrt
a laptop with the iwllagn driver
Connected at 36Mbit, going from the (De-bloated)wndr 5700, using iperf
to saturate the link, ping times ranged from ~2ms to ~4ms.
In the opposite (bloated) direction from the lagn, they peaked at about 140ms.
Under contention (10 streams), I experienced about 4% packet loss on ping.
(I've never been so happy to see packet loss in my life)
The ath9k patch for openwrt - while still far from ideal - is here:

My test rig - which uses the babel protocol to make it easier to move
between routers and routed devices - is described (partially) here:
