Using the b43 wireless LAN driver do I have to bring my notebook in a
certain position and good weather for to get a sometimes disrupted
connection to the AP.
By chance have I noticed, that the connection does not need the notebook
in that certain position, but it works nearly everywhere here around if
I use ndiswrapper.
I want to use the B43 driver rather.
I have noticed that # iwconfig
gives out Tx-Power: 32 dBm when ndiswrapper is running
and Tx-Power: 20 dBm when b43 is running
With the b43 driver have I not been able to increase Tx-power
# iwconfig wlan0 txpower 32
to that value, which is indicated when I run ndiswrapper.
Also the Link Quality (Signal to Noise Ratio) seems to be differently
indicated - but this is probably a matter how it is calculated (by the
different drivers?).
Is there a way, to achieve the same flexibility and about the same link
quality without the need of many reconnects with b43?
(I am running: sid amd64 2.6.26)
Thanks in advance.
