I got an nx7300 notebook with a Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card. I'm really not much of a gamer, but I like to play something on the LAN once in a while. However, once every few packages or so one is receveid quite late. Pinging my wireless router shows pings like these:

Setting a higher fragmentation (ex. iwconfig wlan0 frag 2300) doesn't change this by much..
My only experience with wireless devices has been a few years ago on a desktop machine, but even though the AP was 1Km away, It worked really well..
I'm now going to post some data about my configuration:
The wireless router(D-Link DI-524):
Beacon Interval 50
RTS Threshold 2432
Fragmentation 2346
DTIM Interval 3
TX Rates auto
SSID broadcast Enabled
My machine:
(running 64bit Fedora7)
lspci | grep Wireless
10:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01)
uname -r
2.6.22.5-76.fc7
Hope this is not happening because of my hardware.
Help would be really apreciated
