Yes, The transmission is set to 100% on the card! I checked that last night
under the advanced settings for the card.

It is just annoying because I am paying, I think, too much money to get
3.5MbPs from my ISP to end up with 350-500 Kbps on my laptop! Thanks again
and I'll keep trying! I'll try to get something out of Acer tonight but as
we all know, Customer Support is not what it used to be!
