I am running 10.04 LTS on a desktop PC with a Belkin G-Plus MIMO Wireless network card.
Ever since running Ubuntu on the machine I have noticed fairly slow network speeds (about half the speed I get when running the same card through Windows) I did some research I found out that by and large wireless network cards aren't that well supported on most Linux distros.
I was wondering though if there is anything I could be tweaking on the system that could help squeeze a little more out of the card?
Here is some more information
