Re: [ath5k-users] revisiting an old problem

Had success last night, got connected at the place where I have
access to a fairly weak signal.  I used iwconfig with an explicit
essid, which required a bit of being devious as the essid name is
"shutup!"   getting that ! in there requires some trickery with
Linux.  Could not connect to the other essid at that location,
but that might be because of extremely weak signal, -88dbm.

I think worst signal you can use to connect is practically 83-84 and
you will have speed troubles and packet loss. At least this is what I
heard from my ISP. And I see some packet loss although my signal is
81-82 (on a high distance wireless connection).

Does any of these take me closer to solve my problem? Or the thread
changed?

Perhaps Jim hijacked your thread but really did you read the first
reply to your question?
