    Thought I would post this incase someone else is having the same problems I was having.

    Ever since I got my FS a couple of weeks ago, the wireless speed connected to my router would not stay stable at 54mbit and would fluctuate. I thought it was signal problems but after trying out different routers and antenna, nothing helped. Finally I figured out a solution.

    The driver from Sony appearently has some issues. I was able to get an older driver at the intel site 9.0.0.60 and it works much better.

    Anyone else run into this.

    I hooked up my wireless using a Linksys router w/speedbooster.

    I'm always getting excellent connection strength however i've seen the speed dip down sometimes.

    I'll check out this Intel driver and see if it does the trick.
