As it's been confirmed (well sorta) that I'm using the correct driver and it's at least trying to run faster I may just have to put up with it. It is a PITA though. The server has a TV card and I use it as a PVR. I used to be able to stream the recorded programs to the laptop so I could watch the recordings. Now I have to either copy the file to the laptop as trying to stream it over wifi from the server is just not fast enough for smooth viewing. Or use the wired connection which works fine but looks untidy and ties me to the one room.
What's the CPU usage like on the laptop? Are you using WPA via wpa_supplicant? I'm just wondering if video decoding and WiFi encryption are competing for CPU and this is what stops video streaming from working.
