The ssh connection seems to be unreliable only when using WiFi, wired connection works much better and faster.
I can get 10-11MB/s with wired and only 1-2.5MB/s with wireless(and that's with the laptop right beside the router). I've never gotten anywhere near the 5.4MB/s max of a wifi connection.
Using the same WiFi connection I am able to transfer several gigs using the samba client from a Win XP server. That's why my feeling was that is something wrong with the ssh client/server from openSUSE.
What type of router are you using? Wireless card? If you are using the ath5k driver for atheros based cards, I've found that it is very unreliable. I always build the madwifi driver because it's stable and gets much higher throughput(as well as actually making the lights on my pcmcia card work properly :-) ). My main router is a Netgear WGR416 v6. It's flakey on occasion, but better than my WGT624 v2(which drops at least once a day). I have a WRT54G router(flashed with DD-WRT), but it's being used as a wireless bridge until I get the time to actually run some wires. The stock firmware on the WRT54G was unreliable. I was gonna pitch it until I realized I could flash it. Been 100% rock solid since.
