Hi,

I'm using a wireless connection (Atmel chipped Sitecom WL-011) on my Suse
8.2 laptop. Sometimes, though I'm close to the wireless router, this
connection is pretty bad and pinging (for example) www.home.nl results in
up to 30% packet loss. Is this normal?? Pinging from a wired pc hooked up
to the same router never shows any packet loss.

Thanks,
Marc
