Anybody noticed the following behavior? I have a mid-2013 Macbook Air connecting to an old WRT54GL running Tomato.

1. Start machine from power off. Connects fine. Speed fine.
2. Put to sleep by closing display.
3. Wake up by opening display and pressing a key.
4. After re-logging in, Wifi appears to be "instantly" connected, however bandwidth is around 20% what it should be.
5. Turn WiFi off.
6. Turn WiFi back on, allow to renegotiate new connection. Bandwidth back to normal.

On this same laptop running Mavericks it would always need to renegotiate a new connection when waking from sleep. None of this "instant on" stuff. But, after making a new connection, the connection was always a good one.
