Ok, I tested this patch against the opensSuSE compat-wireless-2.6.35-1.
First of all, the problem with the wrong tx-power disappeared:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"...."
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: ...
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=36/70 Signal level=-74 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
But the problem with bad transfer rates got worse:

Is there a chance to repair this bad throughput?
Kind regards,
