    Many problems were reported with v6.1.0.213 by many users.

    I lost about 20% on my speedtest.net scores and signal strength measued in inSSIDer.

    I don't use iTunes but I undersand the 213 version didn't fix many user's problems and memory leaks were also reported.

    I'll use my Your Uninstaller program to completely remove the modded 183 verion and install the new beta.

    I tried the newest Atheros driver and it worked but browser and site connection lag was an issue for me.

    BTW,I was good with the unmodded 183 version released on July 15th.

    This has fixed a seemly unrated problem. The sound in games and youtube video's stuttered every now and then, mostly when internet is in use, now it doesn't. Great

    Anybody else ever have this problem?
