I am running Freespire 1.0.13 on a Dell Latitude C610 with a Belkin F5D7010 Wireless card, and my link quality with freespire is only between 50 - 57 percent most of the time. When i was running Windows XP it was up into the 88 - 94 range, and the same thing with Ubuntu 6.10.

when i type in "iwconfig ath0" in console i get this:
