...Still working on the wireless throughput problem. Since I haven't been making any progress in with the config and haven't gotten any responses to my post on the forum. I did a little sniffing around on the radio to see what's happening.
It's fairly straightforward to turn a 54g into a packet sniffing drone by installing kismet_drone and wl on WhiteRussian 0.9 (I couldn't get it to work with any other version). The only thing to change from the default setting is the ip addresses it will allow connections from. I had mine set up so that the kismet_server resided on a computer on the LAN of the sniffer box so I didn't have to play with the firewall.
On your other linux box of choice, configure kismet to look for your drone. The line in the config will be something like:
source=kismet_drone,[ip]:[port],mydrone
You might also want to decrease the interval on which kismet writes to disk and/or the output location--all in the kismet.conf file.
Anyway, long story short, you run the drone and the server, get a dump file and then read it with ethereal (wireshark) to get this output.
As you can see there's a lot of duplicate TCP traffic. What does that mean? I have no idea. How does one fix it? I have no idea. Suggestions are welcome...
