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.
