Hello I have the following issue with ralink wireless card, acting in hostap mode
> hardware: ral-rt2561s board acting as access point on a Soekris > Net4501, running OpenBSD 4.0. can't seem to make it work like it should, even with a 9dBi antenna the signal is very weak and much weaker than my old netgear AP. weak and unstable everything is set up correctly # dmesg | grep ral0 ral0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 "Ralink RT2561S" rev 0x00: irq 10, address 00:12:0e:61:80:98 ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT5225 ral0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:12:0e:61:80:98 media: IEEE802.11 autoselect hostap (autoselect mode 11a hostap) status: active ieee80211: nwid xxx chan 11 bssid 00:12:0e:61:80:98 nwkey xxxx 100dBm inet 192.168.x.x netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.x.xxx inet6 fe80::212:eff:fe61:8098%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 but it seems it's all working at very small % of its power. question is: is this a known bug in the driver?? or is there anything I could do to improve the situation?
