Hi List,
i've tried today openbsd 4.0
with several cards:
rt2561t -> PC-620C
rt2560f -> WMIR-103G
rt2560f -> GN-WIKG
with all cards i got a connection (mediaopt ibss -> adhoc)
with a distance of some meters. but if i tried a distance of 150 meters
with 2 yagi (12dbi) i got no connection :-(. i one test i've used
a prism2 card on only the one site and a got a connection but
the performance was very bad. with 2 prism cards it work fine.
2 prism -> ok
1 prism and 1 ral -> bad performance
2 ral -> no connection
has anyone an idea whats the problem of this low operation
range ?
I have a similar problem in 3.9 with ral cards; very poor range.
Linksys (ath) [ap] -> Level One (ral) = 5-7 meters
Linksys (ath) [ap] -> Old 1MBit Intel (wi?) = +30 meters
Level One (ral pci) [ap] -> Level One (ral pccard) = must be within 1-2
meters
I tried changing the Tx Power, but that didn't have an effect. Because
I've heard that the ral driver is very good, I was just assuming that my
Level One cards have crappy transceivers and/or antennas.
