Unstable WLAN on wrt54g v2 (1.3.15)

The WLAN on my wrt54g v2 has two problems:

1) The download speed is only 1.2Mbit on Wlan, on the wired port the speed is 6Mbit (which should be also higher)

2) The kernel sometimes panic, and wlan stops working (logread shows some errors). I need to reboot the router.

The router itself is in an perfect condition, openwrt WhiteRussian worked several years without problems. Should I revert to the Whiterussian, or is there an more recent stable version of gargoyle for an wrt54g v2 avaible?


Heres the logread:

Downgrade to 1.3.9

You should be able to flash down from 1.3.15

Re-configure from scratch

1.3.10+ firmware have a new broadcom driver set

If 1.3.9 works - stick with that version.
